Following their best week in over two months, Indian shares are expected to begin slightly lower on Monday. Asian markets also began lower ahead of important macroeconomic data from major nations.
At 7:50 a.m. IST, the Indian GIFT Nifty on the NSE International Exchange was down 0.10% at 19,918.
Anticipated to caution ahead of statistics on industrial production, retail sales, and home sale prices anticipated later this week, Asian markets, led by China, dipped on Monday. Due to rate worries ahead of the inflation report on August 13, Wall Street stocks saw weekly losses on Friday.
Investors also anticipate Tuesday’s release of India’s retail inflation data for August and industrial production data for July. According to a Reuters survey of experts, retail inflation likely decreased in August from a 15-month high in July to 7%, which is still beyond the top limit of the Reserve Bank of India’s target range of 2%-6%.
Since statistics indicated on August 31 that the country’s first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth was at 7.8%, the fastest in a year, India’s blue-chip indexes, the Nifty 50 (.NSEI) and the Sensex (.BSESN) had increased gains for the sixth consecutive session, gaining over 3% during the time.
The record high levels reached on July 20 are only 1% away for the Sensex and Nifty 50.
