Markets likely to open flat
May 04, 2021
Fear over continuous rise in Covid cases, extended lockdowns in States likely to cap upside
Markets are likely to open marginally down on Tuesday, amidst mixed global cues. Though the positive recovery rate in Covid cases bodes well, economists are still grappling with uncertainty, analysts said. The SGX Nifty is currently hovering around 14,663 (8 00 am IST), which is about 20 points lower as against Nifty May futures that closed at 14,685 on the NSE on Monday.
As Japan market is closed, other Asian markets provide little cues. Overnight, the US markets ended sharply higher with Dow and S&P 500 climbing 0.70 per cent and 0.3 per cent respectively. However, tech-heavy Nasdaq closed 0.5 per cent lower.
