Marketbuzz Podcast with Vivek Iyer: Sensex, Nifty 50 headed for strong start tracking global peers
Episode 1137, Nov 15, 2023, 03:40 AM
Following a market holiday, Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are poised for a higher opening on November 15, propelled by a surge in global stocks. The surge is attributed to the softer-than-expected US inflation data, which has sparked optimism regarding a potential conclusion to the interest rate-hiking cycle in the world's largest economy.
As of 7:59 a.m. IST today, India's GIFT Nifty was up 0.89%, reaching 19,731.50, approximately 300 points above the Nifty 50's closing figure on November 13.
In the overnight Wall Street session, US equities climbed higher with the Nasdaq Composite index recording a 2.4% increase, marking its most robust performance in over six months. This upswing came after the US consumer price inflation (CPI) remained unchanged in October, a first in more than a year, following a 0.4% uptick in September.
Simultaneously, early Asian trade witnessed a rise in oil prices attributed to escalating tensions in West Asia and a weakened dollar. Investors closely monitored inventory data following a two-week delay in reporting, with Brent futures maintaining levels around $82.5 per barrel.
In the preceding session, Indian markets concluded with losses, although broader markets outperformed the benchmark indices. The overall market breadth, however, favoured declines.
Goldman Sachs has upgraded its rating on Indian equities to the 'overweight' category. Additionally, MSCI released a list of stocks included in the global standard index.
Key stocks to track include Biocon, IDFC First Bank, Rail Vikas Nigam, and Grasim Industries.
