The Nifty50 is likely to open on a flat-to-positive note on Thursday following positive trend seen in other Asian markets. The Nifty50 closed 6 points lower at 10,576 on Wednesday.

Wall Street stocks fell on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 notching a fifth straight day of losses as financial stocks were hit by fears that regulations on the banking industry would tighten once the Democratic Party takes control of the US House of Representatives, said a Reuters report.

Asian stocks edged up on Thursday as a steep slide in crude oil prices which had chilled investor sentiment slowed, while the pound and euro were supported after British Prime Minister Theresa May gained cabinet support for a Brexit deal, it said.

The rupee gained 36 paise to end at 72.31 against the US dollar on November 14 as global crude oil prices hovered near one-year lows, easing concerns over expanding current account deficit and inflation.
