Nifty futures were trading 23.5 points or 0.14 per cent at 16,250 on Singaporean Exchange, indicating a gap-down opening for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on Tuesday. Analysts say that the positive momentum in the market will continue on account of strong domestic economic data, impressive quarterly results and unlocking in various states. “However volatility around the US Fed taper talk continues to worry the investors. This week market would react to US and China inflation data along with UK GDP data. A lot of stock-specific action would continue as more results get declared,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
