Stock Market Outlook for Today:

• Positive Momentum Likely: Strong closing in Indian markets, a higher Gift Nifty, and steady Asian cues suggest a possible positive start. 
• Global Sentiment Mixed: While the Dow Jones ended higher, slight pressure in the Nasdaq and cautious moves in crude oil and bond yields may limit upside.
• Institutional Buying Support: Healthy net buying by both FIIs (₹2,474.1 crore) and DIIs (₹2,817.6 crore) may provide a cushion to the market on any intraday dips.
