NEW DELHI: The 50-share Nifty index is seen opening lower on Thursday tracking weak Asian Markets and investors will closely watch Reserve Bank of India's policy meet later today which might provide direction to the market.
According to a Reuters Poll, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to raise its repo rate by a total of 75 basis points for the rest of 2011, including a 25 basis point increase on Thursday.
Markets corrected close to 1 pct on Wednesday on expectation of a rate hike by the RBI on Today.
Bank and auto stocks were worst hit. The banking stocks were slipped 1.6 percent in the previous session as investor's brace for another rate hike at the RBI's policy meet later today.
Markets are likely to be under pressure and may correct some more going forward. "Nifty is likely to drift down to levels close to 5350 over the next few sessions", says Kunal Saraogi, CEO, Equityrush. If Nifty does not manage a close above 5480 for the week on Friday there will be a crucial break down of the weekly channel that will signal the beginning of a more serious downtrend that might take the Nifty to levels closer 5100, he adds
Traders need to be cautious and look to sell metals, sugar, banking and oil and gas stocks that look the weakest on the charts.
