Earlier, the Indian stock markets opened on a flat note, despite receiving mixed cues from global markets. The Sensex edged up by 11.28 points or 0.01% to 81,709.39, while the Nifty saw a modest rise of 5.40 points or 0.02% to 25,016.00. In the broader market, 1,663 shares advanced, 832 shares declined, and 124 shares remained unchanged.

IT stocks led the charge, riding on the surge seen in the Nasdaq. Real Estate and Metal stocks also posted gains. The rally in Metal stocks was not solely driven by interest rate factors but was supported by other underlying dynamics. Meanwhile, brokerage firm Jefferies highlighted that technical factors were fueling the IT rally, even as earnings per share (EPS) cuts loomed over most companies.

The Nifty Bank, however, remained in a "neither here nor there" zone. Although it ended the day over 200 points higher, it underperformed the Nifty. The index managed to close above 51,000 but failed to sustain levels above 51,250. With the Financial Services index set to expire on Tuesday, all eyes will be on the Nifty Bank to see which direction it steers the broader market in the coming sessions.
