Indian benchmark indices are likely to open higher on F&O expiry amid firm global cues. SGX Nifty hinted at a positive start for Dalal Street as Nifty futures traded 84 pts or 0.47% higher at 18340 level. “Markets have been maintaining a positive tone amid the consolidation bias, thanks to rotational buying in index majors, especially from the banking pack. However, subdued participation from the broader front is still weighing on sentiment. Considering the scenario, we feel it’s prudent to limit positions and focus on sectors/stocks which are showing higher relative strength. Also, maintain strict risk management rules in place citing the possibility of a rise in volatility due to scheduled F&O expiry,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
