Market Outlook

The mildly positive pre-open trade reflects cautious optimism ahead of a busy earnings calendar and macro developments. Heavyweights like HDFC Bank, DRREDDY, and TATACONSUM are providing early support to the index, while pressure in IT and auto names is evident.

A steady start above the 25,240 mark provides technical footing for the broader market, but follow-through buying will be key to sustaining momentum as the trading session unfolds.
