Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are likely to open on a flat note today, taking cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading near 25,221, indicating a muted start for domestic equities amid mixed global cues.
On October 7, the markets extended their winning streak for the fourth straight session, with the Nifty closing above the 25,100 mark. Despite erasing some intraday gains, buying interest in auto, consumer durables, oil & gas, energy, and realty sectors helped indices end the day on a positive note.
On Tuesday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 81926.75 up by 136.63 points or by 0.17 % and then NSE Nifty was at 25108.3 up by 30.65 points or by 0.12 %.
On the global front, Wall Street finished lower after a New York Fed survey flagged weakening consumer expectations and higher inflation projections. The report drew extra attention due to an official data blackout stemming from a partisan standoff in Congress, which has extended the US government shutdown to a seventh day.
At the close, Dow Jones was down 0.2 per cent, S&P 500 0.38 per cent, Nasdaq 0.67 per cent.
Asia opened mixed, tracking Wall Street. Last checked, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slipped 0.89 per cent, while Japan’s Nikkei added 0.22 per cent. Mainland China and South Korea were shut for holidays.
