At 9:15 AM, the S&P BSE Sensex is trading at 26,182 up 31 points, while NSE Nifty is trading at 8,087 up 13 points.
The Indian rupee opened marginally higher by two paise at 68.11/$ against the previous close of 68.13/$.
US markets closed in the red on Friday but Asian markets are in a better mood at the start of the week. Centre and states yet have issues to clear on GST and a crucial meet will take place later this week. The rupee movement will be in focus today.
Asian markets ex Japan opened weak as consolidation seems to be on the cards for this week. The Japanese 'Nikkei" index traded well over 18000 as it entered a new Bull market with the index rising 20% from its recent lows. Strength in US$ & rise in yields is seeing money exit emerging markets & chase higher returns in the developed markets with Japanese stocks seeing huge buying.
After falling close to 3 pc last week, the market will hope for some recovery. We’ve not had a positive week for a month now and unless there is meaningful improvement in foreign fund inflows, the indices may continue to languish in a range.
Meanwhile, SEBI is mulling relaxation of norms to permit FPIs to invest in unlisted NCDs and securitized debt instruments. Indian firms raised less than Rs. 3000 cr through QIPs in the first half this year and September alone brought in over Rs.2200 cr last year, the same time-zone saw Rs.12685 cr. being raised.
The Prime Minister mentioned about interest rates going lower after the demonetization drive and corporates may borrow money through bond sales in the coming days.
