Benchmark indices BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty 50 likely to open positive, hinted SGX Nifty. Here are nine key things you must know before share market opening bell.
Indian benchmark indices are likely to open on a higher note, hinted SGX Nifty. On the Singapore Exchange, Nifty futures were in the green, up 68 points, at the 17,700 level. Markets posted a strong rebound on Friday and gained over one and a half percent, tracking supportive global cues. NSE Nifty 50 ended at 17,594, up over 250 points while BSE Sensex settled at 59,808, gaining 900 points.
“The market had more reasons to cheer today than to worry about concerns regarding inflation. PSU Banks led the sectoral rally as reports of foreign investments in Adani stocks helped the sector in recouping the dampened sentiments. The sentiment was further lightened as FIIs turned in strong buyers. Positive global sentiments also played a vital role in uplifting the market, as a Fed official commented on a favourable level of rate hike in the next meeting,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
