Sensex Today: Indian equities ended Monday on a muted note as investors awaited the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision later this week.
The BSE Sensex slipped 118.96 points, or 0.15%, to 81,785.74, while the NSE Nifty50 closed 44.8 points lower at 25,069.2, down 0.18%.

Global Market Cues
In Asia, equities traded mixed as investors tracked US-China talks in Spain and awaited key economic data from Beijing, including retail sales, fixed asset investment, and the unemployment rate. Japan and Malaysia remained shut for holidays.
By last check, Nikkei was up 0.8%, Topix gained 0.4%, Kospi rose 0.16%, while ASX 200 slipped 0.25%.
In the US, futures traded flat in early Asian hours ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve policy meeting, where investors widely expect a rate cut. On Wall Street Friday, the Nasdaq Composite hit another record close, advancing 2% for the week, while the S&P 500 rose 1.6% — its best weekly gain since early August. The Dow Jones added 1%, snapping a two-week losing streak, boosted by data pointing to a cooling labor market and easing inflation.
