Indian markets enter today’s session with a cautious setup.
Crude oil remains elevated near the $97–$100 zone, global markets offer limited direction after the U.S. Labor Day holiday, while the launch of OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra is once again raising questions around AI-driven automation and its impact on traditional IT services.
Meanwhile, Bank Nifty closed around the crucial 57,000 zone, making this a key level for today’s session.
