Market Performance: Indian shares opened slightly higher after a strong previous week, with the NSE Nifty 50 up 0.03% and the BSE Sensex up 0.01%, despite a decline in consumer stocks due to a weak sales forecast from Godrej Consumer Products.
Economic Outlook: The positive sentiment in domestic equities is tempered by expectations of modest market movements ahead of upcoming U.S. and domestic inflation data, following a recent cut in the cash reserve ratio by the Reserve Bank of India.
