Indian equity benchmarks are expected to trade with a positive-to-range-bound bias on Tuesday as investor focus shifts firmly to the Q1 FY27 earnings season, which is likely to drive sector- and stock-specific action through the week.
The Nifty 50 closed Monday 0.02% higher at 24,211, while the Sensex added 0.06% to settle at 77,616 — reflecting steady buying interest at lower levels even as geopolitical tensions in West Asia keep crude oil and volatility elevated.
