SGX Nifty hinted that the domestic equity indices could see a start in the green. On the Singapore Exchange, Nifty futures were trading higher, up 58 points, at the 17,071 level. On Monday, markets gained mildly as Nifty ended marginally higher, still not reclaiming the 17,000 level, while Sensex settled at 57,653, up over 125 points.
“After a range-bound movement, the market ended mixed with marginal gains in large caps while mid and small caps had losses. Some certainty was seen in domestic banks and large caps due to ease in the US & European market aided by reports on the acquisition of SVB by US lender First Citizens Bank. However, the investors continue to remain cautious as stress in the US and European financial systems makes their central banks actions complex,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
