‘The second wave of Covid 19 could jeopardise India’s economic revival and the overall impact will have to be ascertained’
After a Black Monday, markets are expected to be cautious even as the SGX Nifty point to a gap-up opening on Tuesday. Weak economy data and rising number of Covid-19 cases will keep the market in a range, said analysts.
The Index for Industrial production (IIP) contracted 3.6 per cent in February while consumer price index or retail inflation rose to 5.52 per cent in March.
The SGX Nifty is currently ruling at 14,403 (8 am IST) against Nifty Futures’ close of 14,343.25, signalling a 60-point gap-up opening. While the US markets closed weak overnight, most Asian markets are up almost 1 per cent in early trade on Tuesday.
