Domestic stock markets opened on flat but on a positive note on Thursday as geopolitical tensions eased and investors adopted a wait-and-watch approach ahead of the US tariff deadline on July 9.

The Nifty 50 index opened at 25,268.95, gaining 24.20 points or 0.10 per cent, while the BSE Sensex opened at 82,886.41, up by 130.90 points or 0.16 per cent.

Market experts said that with geopolitical risks receding, investor focus has shifted back to the US Federal Reserve and the upcoming US trade tariff deadline of July 9.
