The NSE Nifty 50 ended lower for the second straight session on Monday with investor sentiment cautious amid concerns over currency depreciation, foreign institutional investor outflows, and global policy uncertainties, according to analysts.

"Investor sentiment in the domestic market remains underpinned by an expected pickup in growth supported by tax reforms and the recent GST cut that are set to fuel consumption. However, persistent foreign fund outflows, a record-weak rupee at 88.78/USD, and stretched valuations are keeping investor sentiment cautious. Adding to the volatility are global headwinds—from U.S. tariff threats to visa fee hikes, which are putting additional pressure on the IT stocks and other export linked sectors."Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money
"A sustained move above 25,100 could spark a rebound towards 25,300–25,350, while failure to hold 25,080 may drag the index lower to 25,000–24,950. With GIFT Nifty pointing to a flat start, the market tone remains delicately balanced—slightly bullish above 25,100, but vulnerable if 25,080 is breached."Hariprasad K, Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth
