Markets@Moneycontrol: Nifty likely to open higher; 3 stocks which can give up to 7% return

The Nifty50 is expected to start higher on Tuesday tracking positive trend seen in Asian markets and firm close on Wall Street overnight.

Trends on SGX Nifty, which gained 45 points or 0.4 percent, indicate a positive opening for the broader index in India. The Nifty futures were trading around 10,405-level on the Singapore Exchange.

US stocks ended higher on Monday as fears of a global trade war ebbed with investors betting that US President Donald Trump would back down on his threat to impose hefty tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, said a Reuters report.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 336.7 points, or 1.37 percent, to 24,874.76, the S&P 500 gained 29.69 points, or 1.10 percent, to 2,720.94 and the Nasdaq Composite added 72.84 points, or 1 percent, to 7,330.71.

On the options front, maximum Put open interest is placed at 10400 followed by 10000 strikes while maximum Call open interest is at 10700 and 10500 strikes.

Meaningful Call writing was seen at 10400 followed by 10700 strikes which are restricting its upside while Put unwinding was seen at immediate strikes which is giving the scope for further declines.
