Global Outlook:

* The market is expected to open on a flat note today, as most global markets, including the US and key Asian markets, are closed due to the New Year holiday. Overnight, US stocks saw declines of up to 1% on the last trading day of the year due to profit booking, although 2024 was a strong year overall, with all three major US indices posting their second consecutive year of gains.

* Today, a range bound market is anticipated, but stock and sector-specific movements are likely to continue.

* The SGX Nifty is down by 70 points.

* Cement stocks are expected to perform well due to reports of price hikes by manufacturers.

* Metal stocks may see positive movement following better-than-expected December PMI data from China.

* Auto stocks will be in focus with December sales data set to be released today.
