Indian stocks are looking at a nervous opening even as SGX Nifty futures, representing Indian stocks on Singapore Stock Exchange recovered during morning trade on Friday.

SGX Nifty was trading 0.15% down about an hour before Indian markets opened. The index had plunged to 0.30% earlier in the day.

Investors across Asia look worried as they await the US inflation data and also because of concerns over the new Covid variant.

Wall Street indices closed lower on Thursday as investors booked profits after three consecutive trading sessions of gains and in anticipation of inflation data and how it could impact the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming meeting next week.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.06%, S&P 500 lost 0.72% on Thursday.

Having displayed strength in the current upside bounce, the chances of minor downward correction or consolidation is likely in the coming sessions, said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

Any minor weakness or consolidation from this hurdle in the next one to two sessions could mean a higher possibility of a sharp upside breakout of the hurdle in the near term, he added.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
