Analysts say market will remain in consolidation mode; ‘expect domestic market to continue following global markets this week on lack of major domestic events’
Indian markets are expected to open flat on the first day of the week, as SGX Nifty points to a flat beginning even as Asia-Pacific markets are ruling firm in early trade on Monday. SGX Nifty is ruling at 15,025 against Nifty March futures Friday’s closing of 15,025 and February futures closing of 14,987, signalling flat opening for Nifty index.
Analysts expect the markets to remain in consolidation mode. Global cues and foreign fund flows will largely direct the market movement, they added. However, the key worry is rising Covid-19 cases in some States, especially Maharashtra, again, they added.
