SGX Nifty Down 61 Points; Indicates Negative Opening for Indian Stock Markets
Mon, 7 Dec SGX Nifty

The SGX Nifty opened on a negative note today.

At 8:10 am, it was trading down by 61 points, or 0.46% lower at 13,266 levels.

Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for Indian stock markets.

Asian stock markets have erased gains, hitting a record peak earlier in the session on hopes of a much-needed US stimulus package before year-end just as coronavirus vaccines roll out.

As of the most recent prices, the Nikkei is trading down by 0.2% and the Hang Seng is trading lower by 1.5%.

US stock markets rose to record levels on Friday, notching another weekly advance, as traders shook off a disappointing US jobs report.

The US economy added 245,000 jobs in November. That was well below a Dow Jones consensus estimate of 440,000. The unemployment rate, however, matched expectations by falling to 6.7% from 6.9%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up by 0.8% while the Nasdaq advanced 0.7%. Both indexes posted intraday and closing record highs.

Friday's jump led to their fourth weekly gain in five weeks. The Dow rose 1% last week while the Nasdaq Composite rallied 2.2%.

US stock futures are trading on a flat note, following a record-setting session as Wall Street searched for clues on additional fiscal aid.

Dow futures are trading down by 17 points or 0.1%, while Nasdaq futures advanced 0.2%.

Here are some key events due later this week:

  • Japan - GDP - Q3 - Tuesday
  • US Crude Oil Inventory - Wednesday
  • European Central Bank policy decision - Thursday

Back home, Bharti Airtel and IRCTC will be among the top buzzing stocks today.
