Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 are likely to open on a muted note amid weak global cues. SGX Nifty was in red with Nifty futures trading 49 pts or 0.27% lower, hinting at a flat to negative start for the Indian share market. “We expect the prevailing trend to continue and expect Nifty to scale 18,700 first and then to a new milestone of 19,000. On the downside, the 18,100 zone would provide the needed support in case of any dip. Amid all, it would important to see how the broader market participation pans out as that would play a critical role in strengthening the trend. While we’re seeing mixed participation across sectors, we reiterate our preference for banking and IT and suggest remaining selective in others,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
