Marketbuzz Podcast with Vivek Iyer: Sensex, Nifty 50 likely to open lower amid mixed global cues

Episode 1018,   May 24, 2023, 03:19 AM

Indian indices — Sensex and Nifty 50 — are likely to open lower on May 24 following a very mixed set of queues from global indices. Indian markets too have been very range bound with a bit of volatility, especially in yesterday's last hour of trading session.

US indices ended lower between 0.7 percent to 1.2 percent. Given the fact that there continues to be a stalemate regarding the US debt ceiling remit, European markets too ended lower.

In the global handover overnight, crude oil prices gained a bit given the fact that a Saudi Energy Minister has warned speculators against short selling. On the back of that, Brent futures gained a percent to $76.8 a barrel.

An important cue to watch out for today is the wind-down of the earnings season. Hindalco, Cummins India, NALCO, and Nykaa are among some of the companies expected to post their results today.
