Sensex Today: Indian equity benchmark indices opened on a flat note and slipped into negative territory on Tuesday after two consecutive sessions of gains, with weakness in information technology and realty stocks weighing on the markets despite supportive global cues.

Global Cues

Asian markets were mostly higher, tracking gains on Wall Street led by artificial intelligence stocks. Japan’s Nikkei 225 was trading nearly flat, while South Korea’s KOSPI advanced 0.73 per cent and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.42 per cent.

US equity markets kicked off the holiday-shortened week on a positive note, supported by continued strength in AI-related stocks. Overnight, the S&P 500 climbed 0.64 per cent, the Nasdaq Composite added 0.52 per cent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.47 per cent.
