Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty Futures Edge Lower in Pre-Open Trade

Indian stock markets began Monday’s session on a subdued note, with benchmark indices and futures trading lower in pre-open deals. The weakness follows last week’s sell-off in IT stocks and global concerns around AI-driven disruptions.

Key Highlights

• Nifty 50 Index: Down 0.19% in pre-open trade, consolidating below 25,500.
• Nifty Bank Futures: Declined 0.16%, reflecting pressure on financial stocks.
• Nifty 50 Futures: Dropped 0.25%, signaling cautious investor positioning.
• Support Levels: Analysts see immediate support at 25,000, with resistance near 26,000.
• Market Outlook: Experts warn that a decisive break below Friday’s low could trigger further downside toward the 200 DMA at 25,300.

The pre-open weakness underscores investor caution ahead of key global cues and domestic earnings. Traders are advised to monitor support zones closely, as consolidation may continue with stock-specific action dominating the near term.
