D-Street braces for weak opening on negative GIFT Nifty cues

Domestic equities closed mixed on Monday as the Nifty saw a slight decline. Global cues and geopolitical tensions are expected to keep Indian markets subdued. The US Treasury's bond buyback program weakened the dollar and supported precious metals. Foreign portfolio investors were net sellers, while domestic institutional investors bought shares. The Indian rupee pared initial gains, settling lower against the US dollar.
