India’s stock market opened the week on a strong note, showing notable momentum on Monday. However, market experts caution that Tuesday could see a relatively subdued session unless fresh triggers emerge. Early trends in Gift Nifty indicate a weak start, suggesting that domestic indices may also reflect a softer opening.

On Monday, the Nifty closed firmly above the 25,600 mark, gaining 211.65 points to settle at 25,682.75. The Sensex also advanced sharply, rising 650.39 points to finish at 83,277.15.
