The Nifty futures contract traded on the Singapore Exchange indicates a negative start to domestic equities. The contract was trading at 17,356, down 81.5 points or 0.47% from the previous close.
“Markets ended the week with a sharp cut of over a percent, tracking feeble global cues. In continuation to the previous session’s fall, the Nifty index opened gap-down and hovered in a narrow band till the end. The selling pressure was widespread wherein the decline in the banking and financial majors was largely weighing on the sentiment. The broader indices too traded in tandem with the trend and lost in the range of 0.7-0.9%,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
