Equity benchmark indices are likely to open with minor cuts on Thursday tracking losses across global markets after the US Fed’s 25 bps hike overnight. As indicated by the SGX Nifty, which was quoting at 17,110 levels, the Nifty index may open around 50 points lower.
US markets erased gains sometime after Fed’s hike announcement as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that regulators are not looking to provide any "blanket" deposit insurance or guarantee to stabilise the US banking system.
Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and NASDAQ Composite declined 1.6 per cent each.
