SGX Nifty hints at gap-down start for Sensex, Nifty; 5 things to know before opening bell
Indian share market may open in negative territory on Tuesday, taking cues from the global peers. In the previous session, Nifty 50 index jumped 137.5 points or nearly one per cent to close at 14,484.75 while the BSE Sensex rallied 486.81 points or 1 per cent to close at 49,269.32. A host of factors such as October-December quarter earings, COVID-19 vaccine rollout, oil prices, rupee movement and other global developments will set the market tone today. The trends on SGX Nifty suggested a negative opening for the domestic equity market benchmarks. Nifty futures were seen trading 11.50 points or 0.08 per cent down at 14,484.50 on Singaporean Exchange. Analysts say that the market has gained momentum due to the bright possibilities of bold announcements in the forthcoming Union Budget. “It is an indecisive candlestick pattern at the top of the current movement and traders should take some profit at current levels until the Nifty or Sensex crosses do not cross the 14520/49370 level. Support exists at 14440/49000 and 14380/48900,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities.
