Nifty futures were trading 87.80 points or 0.83 per cent higher at 10,695.80 on Singaporean Exchange, indicating a positive opening for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on Wednesday. Market participants will track RIL’s 43rd annual general meeting (AGM), Yes Bank’s Rs 15,000 crore follow-on public offer (FPO), June quarter results of Wipro and Infosys. Apart from these, investors will keep tabs on trends on coronavirus, oil prices, rupee trajectory and stock-specific development. “Indications are in the favour of a further decline and Nifty could test 10,500 levels. Though the global markets are still buoyant, rising cases in India have raised fears of the imposition of lockdown in certain parts, which could dent the pace of recovery. We advise continuing with the stock-specific trading approach and accumulating defensive on dips,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
