Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open on a weak note on July 25, taking cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading around 24,982 earlier this morning.

Market sentiment on the final trading day of the week may be influenced by Q1 earnings, India’s forex data for the week ended July 18, developments in the India-UK trade deal, mixed global signals, institutional investment flows, and activity in the primary market.
