The domestic equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open lower on Friday following mixed global cues and persistent FII selling. Asian markets traded mixed, while the US stock market ended mostly higher overnight after strong economic data, with the Dow Jones closing at record high.
“Rising domestic inflation data released this week and continued FII selling weighed on the market sentiments. This along with disappointing Q2 earnings from major companies added to the pressure. Looking forward, the market is expected to remain range-bound due to mixed global cues and a lack of domestic triggers,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
