Markets@Moneycontrol: Nifty likely to open gap down; may retest 10,700 levels

The Nifty50 is likely to see a gap down opening on Friday weighed down by muted trend seen in other Asian markets. The Nifty50 closed 83 points lower at 10,768 levels.

Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for the broader index in India, a fall of 48 points or 0.45 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 10,724- level on the Singaporean Exchange.

The S&P and Nasdaq fell on Thursday as the technology sector snapped a rally while investors turned to safer bets as they kept an eye on global trade tensions and waited for US and European central bank meetings, said a Reuters report.

Asian stocks drifted lower early on Friday, with major markets in the region recording slight declines after the mixed close on Wall Street, it added.

The Nikkei 225 shed 0.11 percent following four straight sessions of gains as banking stocks slipped while consumer stocks edged higher. The broader Topix was little changed.
