Pre Market Report: Dalal Street may open gap-up; RIL, Zomato, YES Bank and UPL in news

Market Opening - An Overview

SGX Nifty futures were trading 0.96% higher at 15,821, signalling that Dalal Street was headed for a positive start on Thursday.

Most Asian shares were trading higher, tracking Wall Street, after the U.S. Federal Reserve increased the interest rate and cut its growth projections. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index rose 1.4% and Topix gained 1.26%. China’s Hang Seng slipped 0.04% and CSI 300 advanced 0.42%.

Wall Street rallied after a policy announcement by the Federal Reserve that raised interest rates by 75 basis points in line with market expectations as the central bank seeks to fight rising inflation without sparking a recession. It projected a slowing economy and rising unemployment in the months to come. 

The Indian rupee ended flat at 74.40 against the US dollar on Monday.

India’s trade deficit hit a record $24.3 billion in May, higher than estimates, amid a sharp jump in gold imports to $2.8 billion, according to the latest data released by the commerce ministry.
