New Delhi, July 14 -- The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open lower on Tuesday, tracking weak global market cues, as the ongoing US-Iran war continues to weigh on risk sentiment.

The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a gap-down start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,044 level, a discount of nearly 199 points from the Nifty futures' previous close.

On Monday, the Indian stock market indices ended marginally in green amid high volatility, with the benchmark Nifty 50 holding above 24,200 level.

The Sensex gained 47.01 points, or 0.06%, to close at 77,616.40, while the Nifty 50 settled 4.10 points, or 0.02%, higher at 24,211.00.
