The Indian market is set for a mildly weak start as political uncertainty in US left global investors jittery at a time when the economy was showing signs of faltering.

However, the Indian market is likely to outperform global market on positive outcome of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council meeting which was held on Saturday.

At 07:23 AM, SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50's trend in India, was down 0.08 percent at 10,751, indicating a weak opening for the Indian market.

The Indian market will be closed on Tuesday on the occasion of Christmas.
