Sensex and Nifty Brace for Negative Opening Amid Regional Pressures

Indian stock markets are expected to open on a negative note on Monday, with GIFT Nifty trading near 23,321 following a six-week weekly losing streak for the Nifty 50.

The benchmark Sensex fell 0.65 percent to close at 74,294.46 in the previous truncated week, while the Nifty declined 0.22 percent to settle at 23,346.40.
