Market Headstart: Nifty likely to open lower; 3 stocks which could give 10-12% return

The Nifty50 is likely to open lower on Wednesday following muted trend seen in other Asian markets. The index closed 107 points lower at 10,656 on Tuesday.

Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a flat to negative opening for the broader index in India, a fall of 9.5 points or 0.09 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 10,660-level on the Singaporean Exchange.

US stocks sold off for a second day on Tuesday as energy shares dropped with oil prices, and retailers including Target and Kohl’s sank after weak earnings and forecasts, fueling worries about economic growth, said a Reuters report.

Asian stocks fell on Wednesday, weighed by a renewed bout of selling on Wall Street, and crude oil struggled after a sharp slide as economic growth concerns gripped global markets, it said.

The rupee rose by 21 paise to end at 71.46 against the US dollar on November 20 on increased selling of the greenback by exporters amid softening crude oil prices, and persistent foreign fund inflows.
