FAST MONEY: Infosys, MMTC among top five intraday trading calls

The Sensex and Nifty are expected to open lower on Thursday after Asian markets edged down as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and took a more hawkish tone in forecasting a slightly faster pace of tightening for the rest of the year. At 8:00 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 10,814.50, down 30.50 points or 0.28 per cent.
