The SGX Nifty, which indicates opening trends of the Indian market, was trading lower by around 23 points on the Singaporean exchange on Friday morning.
The global markets, especially the US indices, closed marginally higher with S&P 500 and Nasdaq each ending over 0.2 per cent on Thursday. The Asian markets were trading mixed with Japan’s Nikkei and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng in the green and China’s Shanghai in red on Friday morning.
As per Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking, “We are in the fifth successive week of advance and rotational buying across sectors helping the index maintain the prevailing trend. We’re eyeing 18,100 in Nifty and reiterate our view to continue with the ‘buy on dips’ approach.” Mishra added that participants should focus more on stock selection after the recent surge and focus more on the sectors/stocks which are trading in sync with the benchmark instead of focusing on laggards.
