MARKET TODAY
Key benchmark indices are likely to open higher encouraged by a positive report on the U.S housing market. Wall Street rallied on the back of strong fourth quarter earnings reports and home sales data that suggested economic activity is picking up. Asian stock markets opened mostly higher, but investor sentiment in Japan was dampened by Toyota's recall woes. Meanwhile, investors will closely watch opening of the large follow-on public offer (FPO) of state-run power generation firm NTPC today. The government fixed the benchmark price for the proposed divestment of government stake at Rs 201 per share.
According to data released by the NSE, in the last session, FIIs were net sellers of index futures to the tune of Rs 418.34 crore, while they sold index options worth Rs 328.36 crore. They were net buyers of stock futures to the tune of Rs 239.25 crore and bought stock options worth Rs 110.82 crore.
