Indian equities are likely to open higher on Thursday, tracking firm cues from Nifty futures on the Singapore Stock Exchange and positive trading across Asian markets. In the overnight trade, Wall Street ended higher after Federal Reserve meeting minutes indicated a gradual approach to interest rate hikes. Back home, bullish trend in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for May delivery, which were trading 9,410.50, up by 37.50 points or 0.40 per cent, at 10:56 AM Singapore time, also signaled a positive opening for local bourses. However, reports of mounting tensions on the India-Pakistan border coupled with downgrade of China rating by Moody’s may keep investors jittery in markets. The market may see customary volatility amid expiry of May futures and options contracts due today. Telecom stocks in remain in focus as Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), in a letter to the department of telecommunications (DoT), has justified its recommending a penalty of Rs 3,050 crore on operators Airtel, Vodafone and Idea for not providing enough interconnect points to Reliance Jio. On the earnings front, Archies, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar, Bosch, Cipla, Concor, GSPL, Indian Oil Corporation, NMDC, Timex and Va Tech Wabag, will remain in focus as they will unveil March quarter results today.
