D-St set for a cautious opening as GIFT Nifty signals muted start

Indian benchmark indices opened positively but traded within a narrow range. Market participants remained cautious due to the weekly Sensex expiry and intraday volatility. Analysts expect the index to hold support and witness a pullback towards higher levels. Foreign portfolio investors net sold shares while domestic institutional investors were net buyers. The rupee depreciated for the fourth straight day against the US dollar.
