Markets@Moneycontrol: Nifty likely to open lower; 3 stocks which can give up to 11% return

The Nifty50 is expected to open lower on Wednesday tracking negative trend seen in other Asian markets and a weak handover from Wall Street. The index closed 53 points higher or 0.53 percent at 10,184.15 on Tuesday.

Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for the broader index in India, a fall of 58 points or 0.57 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 10,151-level on the Singapore Stock Exchange.

Wall Street closed sharply lower Tuesday, with each of the major US indexes suffering their fourth decline in five sessions, fueled by a selloff in the tech sector. Tech stocks, among the best performing sectors of the bull market, have been under pressure recently as concerns about government regulation stemming from their strong growth and privacy questions surrounding Facebook, Reuters reported.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 344.89 points, or 1.43 percent, to 23,857.71, the S&P 500 lost 45.93 points, or 1.73 percent, to 2,612.62 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 211.74 points, or 2.93 percent, to 7,008.81.

Asian stocks posted declines early on Wednesday trade after US stocks fell sharply on the back of declines in technology names. That cut short a rally seen in Europe and Asia's Tuesday session linked to an apparent easing in trade-related tensions, CNBC reported.

The Nikkei 225 fell 2.15 percent in Tokyo, with the stock average reversing most of its gains made in the overnight session. The broader Topix was down 2.04 percent.
