The SGX Nifty suggests that the key indexes BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 will open lower. Stocks to watch on Thursday include Adani Enterprises, SBI, Vedanta, and Jubilant FoodWorks.
According to SGX Nifty, Indian benchmark indexes are set to open lower. On the Singapore Exchange, Nifty futures were trading 0.5% down at 18,123 ahead of the weekly F&O expiry session. The BSE Sensex gained 390 points to 61,046, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 112 points to 18,165 in the previous session. “We expect the rally to extend further since Nifty has overcome the immediate obstacle at the 18100 level. However, the upside appears to be limited due to limited participation and obstacles in the 18250-18350 range. We therefore propose keeping picky and suggest favouring index majors over others”, said Ajit Mishra, VP Of Technical Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
