At the opening bell, India’s benchmarks oscillated within a tight range, with the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty moving less than 0.5% amid muted global cues. Traders cited an earnings-heavy week and stock-specific action as near-term drivers, while foreign flows were mixed. Early tick data showed banks, energy, and autos offsetting weakness in select IT names. Macro watchers flagged oil’s intraday drift and rupee stability as supportive. Market participation remained broad but cautious, with focus on margin commentary, capex plans, and order-book visibility from upcoming midcap and large-cap reporters.
