The benchmark Sensex and Nifty indices are anticipated to open flat on May 27, influenced by GIFT Nifty trends indicating a minimal loss of just 7 points for the broader index.

On May 24, despite a rangebound trading session, the Indian benchmark indices hit fresh record highs with the Nifty surpassing the 23,000 mark for the first time. However, the indices could not maintain these higher levels and closed with marginal changes. The Sensex closed down by 7.65 points, or 0.01%, at 75,410.39, while the Nifty declined by 10.55 points, or 0.05%, to end at 22,957.10. For the week, both the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 indices rose by 2% each.
