Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) The Indian stock market opened flat on Wednesday as buying was seen in the IT, financial services, FMCG and metal sectors in the early trade.
Sensex opened at 80,151.67 with a fall of 69.05 points or 0.09 per cent while Nifty opened at 24,437.70 with a slide of 34.40 points or 0.14 per cent.
The market trend remained mixed. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), 1,126 stocks were trading in green, while 1,170 stocks were trading in red.

According to market experts, “The ongoing trend of large caps outperforming mid and smallcaps is likely to sustain, going forward. FII selling and the countervailing trend of domestic institutional investors (DII) buying is likely to continue.”
In the coming days the market will be looking forward to the outcome of the US presidential elections and its possible impact on the market, they said.
On Tuesday, the Indian markets saw some buying at the start of the session but failed to sustain the gains, extending selling pressure and closing on a negative note for the second consecutive day.
Looking ahead, a “sell on rise” strategy is recommended, with the 24,650 – 24,850 range considered a potential selling zone, as long as the index stays below 25,000,” said experts.
