Sensex opens strong as Nifty crosses 26,000
The Indian stock market kicked off Monday on a positive note—Sensex opened just above 85,000 and Nifty crossed the 26,000 mark.
This upbeat start reflects investor optimism as everyone waits for fresh economic data and global signals this week.

Key numbers like industrial output and budget data dropping soon could shake things up for early 2026.
What's shaping the mood?
Global cues are mixed: Asian markets are hopeful about a US Fed rate cut, but oil and metal prices remain jumpy.

Dr. VK Vijayakumar sees earnings picking up in Q3 FY26 but says a big external push—like better US-India trade ties—is needed for a real rally.
For now, steady nerves and smart picks might be the way to go.
