The Indian stock market, represented by indices like Sensex and Nifty 50, is expected to start trading lower today due to weak global signals. The Gift Nifty, indicating the market trend, is trading around 22,180, reflecting a drop of approximately 185 points from the previous close of Nifty futures. Yesterday, both Sensex and Nifty 50 closed over 1% down for the second consecutive session, with Nifty 50 slipping below the 22,300 mark. This suggests a challenging opening for investors, with a negative candle forming on the daily chart due to a gap-down opening.
