It has been a negative start for the key Indian equity indices amidst mixed cues from the Asian markets. The benchmark 30-share BSE Sensex recovered after falling marginally in early trade Monday amid mixed global trends. Sensex is down 88.38 points or 0.24% at 36138.76, while Nifty is lower by 51.80 points or 0.47% at 10878.70.  

Infosys, ITC, and GAIL are among the top gainers and Kotak Mahindra Bank and J Kumar Infra have lost the most. 

After slipping over 60 points, the index gained around 46 points to trade at 36,273.54 points. The broader Nifty index was trading almost flat at 10,920.80.

The Reserve Bank of India's policy meeting, macroeconomic data announcements and trends in crude oil prices are expected to be the key factors for market movements this week. Last month, the Sensex lost 2,417.93 points -- its worst monthly show since February 2016.
