 "Pre-Market: Global trends may set market moves")
Foreign institutional flows will continue to play a key role in the direction of the stock markets this week in the absence of major events. Market participants do not expect the warning by ratings agency S&P on India’s credit outlook on Friday to have a significant impact on stocks on Monday.
With the Nifty struggling to break above the key hurdle of 6200, analysts said it would require a fresh bout of sizeable flows to push the markets up as domestic investors continue to sell at higher levels.
The NSE Nifty is likely to trade with a positive bias as long as the index sustains above 6,150-6,130 level. On the upside, the index can face some resistance around 6,220-odd levels. Momentum oscillators both on the daily and the weekly charts are in favour of the bulls, technical analysts suggest.
Back home, among individual stocks, keep a tab on Coal India, State Bank of India and Jet Airways as they will announce their respective March quarter numbers this week.
The income tax department has slapped a fresh Rs 577 crore tax demand notice on Infosys, for fiscal year 2009 reports suggest. The stock could react to the development.
