Pre Session- Sensex set to open higher; IIP data eyed
12/08/2014 08:19
The key domestic benchmarks may open on a positive note today amid fading geopolitical concerns. Asian stocks were trading mixed as speculation heightened that tensions in Ukraine may ease on the arrival of a Red Cross aid mission while hopes rose that US airstrikes may contain militancy in Iraq, boosting the appeal of risky assets such as equities. While China’s Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng retreated as investors booked profits after yesterday’s sharp rally when below target inflation gave policymakers room to inject stimulus to spur growth in the world’s second biggest economy, Japan’s Nikkei 225 extended gains.
On the domestic front, all eyes will be on the IIP data due after market hours today which may show that industrial output rose for the third month on the trot in June, signaling a recovery in Asia’s third biggest economy. India’s industrial output may have risen 5.6 per cent, year on year in June 2014, up from an annual 4.7 per cent rise in the previous month. However, acceleration in consumer inflation will signal limited room to ease monetary policy, and may weigh on sentiment at Dalal Street. Consumer inflation may have accelerated to 7.4 per cent in July 2014 from 7.3 per cent in June 2014 as food inflation quickened, analysts say. Sun Pharma, Coal India and Tata Power will report their quarterly earnings today.
