The domestic benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50 showed minimal movement at the start of trading on Tuesday as investors adopted a cautious stance, awaiting key inflation data from both India and the US later this week. The Nifty 50 opened at 24,652.65 points, up by 33.65 points or 0.14 per cent, while the Sensex began the day at 81,575.96, gaining 67.50 points or 0.08 per cent.


V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, stated that the market is likely to undergo a narrow consolidation period in the short term. He noted that there are no major catalysts to propel the market into a new bull phase, nor are there significant factors that could trigger a sharp decline from current levels. During this phase, fluctuations in both directions are expected. FMCG stocks are currently facing selling pressure due to sluggish growth, while the strength of banking and IT stocks is likely to persist, supported by favourable conditions that may continue to drive their upward momentum.
