Negative Opening on the Horizon for Sensex and Nifty 50

With a minor drop of 4.50 points, or 0.02%, to 22,435, GIFT Nifty hinted at a subdued inception for the day's trading activity, shadowed by last session's downturn where NSE Nifty 50 fell by 49.30 points and BSE Sensex dropped by 195.16 points. Market movements have been contained within a narrow range following record-breaking highs recently achieved, amidst cautious global market tendencies pending key economic updates from the US and a lack of further economic stimuli from China, as per Vinod Nair from Geojit Financial Services.

Stocks Garnering Attention
