Stock market today: The Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a flat note on Tuesday as investors evaluate recent developments surrounding the US-Iran conflict in the Middle East.

Gift Nifty trends also point to a gap-down opening for the domestic markets, with the index trading around the 22,923 mark — trading down nearly 78 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.

Asian markets moved higher, and US equities ended the previous session on a positive note, with all three major Wall Street indices closing in the green.

“Indian markets are likely to open on a flat note, with Gift Nifty indicating a muted start ahead of the weekly expiry. While global cues offer some support, the overall sentiment remains cautious, with markets continuing to track developments around the ongoing US–Iran conflict,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI-registered Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth.

On Monday, the domestic market posted strong gains, with both benchmark indices advancing over 1%. The Sensex surged 787.30 points, or 1.07%, to finish at 74,106.85, while the Nifty 50 rose 255.15 points, or 1.12%, to close at 22,968.25.
