Market Ahead, November 26: All you need to know before the Opening Bell

In the absence of any major domestic trigger, global cues and stock-specific action will guide the markets today.

In company-specific news, Subhash Chandra stepped down as chairman of Zee Entertainment following a board meeting yesterday.

In another development, aviation regulator DGCA has barred IndiGo, from operating Airbus A320 and 321 Neo aircraft having turbine blades built with titanium, which is prone to damage leading to mid-air engine shut down.

There's more trouble for DHFL as the government has ordered a Serious Fraud Investigation Office probe into the company's affairs as well as of five real estate companies. DHFL also formally put off its board of directors' meeting earlier scheduled for Monday to approve the second quarter financial results.

All the respective stocks will react to the developments today.

Apart from this, oil price, rupee's trajectory, and foreign fund flow will also influence market direction.
