Muted Nov 1 sentiment expected in Indian markets as weekend holiday limits immediate early session participation

Market tone entering Nov 1 remained extremely mild with a weekend trading holiday effect influencing expectations of limited early session volume participation once trade resumes. October performance strength remains the dominant context, with investors awaiting new RBI commentary for direction rather than deploying active capital ahead of scheduled macro inputs. Analysts expect a neutral to steady open as short-term tactical flows remain suppressed while global positioning resets remain minimal. Broader market watchers indicated that this phase is transitionary rather than risk-off, with primary directional clarity likely to emerge once policy-linked signals flow in.
