SGX Nifty hints at a positive start for Nifty50 and Sensex. Tata Motors, Yes Bank, Sun Pharma among stocks in focus on 19 December 2022.
Indian benchmark indices are likely to open on a positive note, hinted SGX Nifty on Monday. Nifty futures were trading higher at 18354 level on the Singapore Exchange. In the previous session, BSE Sensex fell 461 points to 61,338, while NSE Nifty 50 plunged 146 points to 18,269. “In absence of any major event, global cues will continue to dictate the trend. Apart from the feeble global cues, continued profit-taking in the banking index may result in further decline and Nifty could test the 18,000-18,100 zone soon. On the higher side, 18,500-18,750 would act as hurdles. Since all the sectors are largely trading in tandem with the benchmark, participants should plan their exits in profitable trades and stay selective for fresh positions,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
