The Indian Market is expected to have negative opening on the back of weak global cues as the US market closed in red while the Asian markets are going through negative sentiment. On Wednesday, the Indian market closed upbeat after recovering its three days loss due to heavy buying pressure in key indices. The market opened with the positive energy tracking the mixed global cues and extended the gain on the positive opening of European markets. It was hovering in positive territory throughout the trading session. The FMCG stock was not in favour on account of heavy selling force, while all other stocks closed in green and most of the buying was seen in capital goods, reality, banking and metal stocks. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 296.07 points at 15,185.32 and NSE Nifty ended up by 73.80 points to close at 4,423.60.
We expect that the market may remain cautious during the trading session due to surge in global crude oil price and hike in repo rate by RBI to tame inflation may also put some pressure. The Index of Industrial Production numbers for April 2008, due out today, will provide further evidence on the state of the economy and the market may also be keeping a watch on this to take further direction.
The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday surprisingly raised repo rate by 25 basis points to 8% to curb inflation, and according to analysts more tightening is expected if inflation continued to head towards double digits. This hike is a signal of rise in interest rates, and corporates who were preparing to issue bonds to raise funds may hesitate to launch such offerings.
