On Wednesday, the domestic benchmark indices is anticipated to open flat with a positive bias, following gains in its global counterparts. Rangebound trading will likely take place today for the key market indices Nifty 50 and Sensex following a flat ending in the previous session. The Indian benchmark index is off to a good start, according to Gift Nifty. Compared to the Nifty futures' last closing of 19,480, the Gift Nifty was trading at about 19,513.
On Tuesday's session, Sensex and the Nifty 50 ended a three-day winning streak due to profit booking in a few heavyweights amid weak global cues and fading optimism regarding the end of monetary tightening. Sensex closed at 64,942.40, down 16 points, or 0.03%, and the Nifty 50 closed at 19,406.70, down 5 points, or 0.03%.
