Stocks To Watch: Dr Reddy’s, L&T, Procter & Gamble, Godrej Consumer, TII

The SGX Nifty signaled that domestic benchmark indices NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex might open on a positive note, as Nifty futures traded 46.5 points higher at 18,405 on the Singaporean exchange. Nifty and Sensex closed Wednesday’s session in the green territory despite unfavorable global cues. The NSE Nifty 50 rose 0.27% to 18,315.1 and Sensex surged 178.87 points to 61,940.2.

“The domestic market relinquished its gains as weak global sentiments took hold. The upcoming US inflation figures have become the focal point in determining the global market trend. The US inflation rate, which is expected to remain unchanged at its March level of 5.0%, is causing worries that the Fed will remain stricter for long. However, the sustained support from FIIs is guarding the domestic market from a steep correction,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
