Sensex Today: Indian equities opened lower on Monday amid a lack of fresh domestic cues. The BSE Sensex was trading at around 85,603, down 109 points or 0.13 per cent, while the Nifty50 slipped 32 points or 0.12 per cent to 26,153.
In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap index declined 0.14 per cent, and the Nifty SmallCap index edged down 0.22 per cent.

Global Markets
Asian markets were largely mixed. Mainland China’s CSI 300 gained 0.48 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slipped 0.07 percent as investors waited for China’s November trade data.
Japan’s Nikkei fell 0.32 percent after revised data showed the country’s economy contracted more sharply between July and September than earlier estimated. Official numbers indicated a third-quarter GDP decline of 2.3 percent on an annualised basis—worse than the median forecast of a 2 percent fall and higher than the preliminary estimate of a 1.8 percent drop. In contrast, South Korea’s KOSPI edged up 0.07 percent.
In the US, equities ended higher on Friday. The Dow Jones gained 0.22 percent, the S&P 500 rose 0.19 percent, and the Nasdaq added 0.31 percent.
Sentiment improved after the delayed release of core PCE inflation data for September, which came in softer than economists had expected. The reading was among the final key data points ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting this week, where the US central bank is widely expected to announce its decision on Wednesday.
