Indian stocks are set to open trading on Tuesday on a firm note even as other Asian stock indices came under pressure during early trades.
SGX Nifty futures, representing Indian stocks, opened firmly on Tuesday trading at a premium of 0.40% on Tuesday before markets opened in India.
Fresh buying interest in auto stocks and Reliance Industries outweighed selling pressure on Monday’s trading, helping key Indian Indices to close at record highs.
Wall Street indices ended mixed on Monday over concerns on treasury yields moving higher last week after the Federal Reserve hinted that it may soon taper its asset purchasing window. Dow rose 0.21% while S&P 500 lost 0.28% and Nasdaq lost 0.52%
Asian stocks, across most regions, on Tuesday, came under pressure for the same reason coupled with a lower outlook on China’s GDP growth.
Key things to note before trade
- Reliance Industries hit an all-time high on Monday, crossing the INR2500 mark on Jio performance, retail expansion and energy business restructuring
- Adani Enterprises’ subsidiary firm to acquire a majority stake in a retail business to operate duty-free outlets at airports
