Indian stock market: The domestic equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to see positive opening on Tuesday following gains in global equities.

Asian markets traded higher, while the US stock market ended mixed overnight, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 closing higher.

On Monday, the Indian stock market indices ended lower, extending their losing streak to the seventh consecutive session, the longest since February 2023.

The Sensex declined 241.30 points, or 0.31%, to close at 77,339.01, while the Nifty 50 settled 78.90 points, or 0.34%, lower at 23,453.80.

“While Indian equity markets are seeing fund outflows for more than a month now, surging US bond yields and local earnings failing to meet the estimates has been causing uncertainty amongst the investors,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
