The SGX Nifty opened on a negative note today.
At 8:10 am, it was trading down by 55 points, or 0.39% lower at 14,580 levels.
Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for Indian stock markets.
Asian stock markets retreated from record highs today as investors took some money off the table after a recent rally that was driven by hopes a massive US economic stimulus plan by incoming President Joe Biden will help temper the Covid-19 impact.
The Hang Seng is trading down by 0.3% while the Shanghai Composite is down 0.4%. The Nikkei is trading lower by 0.34%.
In US stock markets, Wall Street indices rose to another record highs on Thursday as investors bet on strong earnings from big tech companies next week.
A better-than-expected reading on jobless claims also supported sentiment. First-time claims for unemployment insurance totalled 900,000 for the week ended January 16, lower than an estimate of 925,000 according to economists surveyed by Dow Jones.

US stock futures are trading lower today. Dow Futures are trading down by 93 points while Nasdaq Futures are trading lower by 49 points.
