Indian equity markets are likely to extend losses on Thursday as SGX Nifty signalled at a gap-down open for benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 on monthly and weekly F&O expiry day. Nifty futures were trading 34 points, or 0.22% lower at 15,732 on the Singapore Exchange, signaling that Dalal Street was headed for a negative start. “Markets will react to the US GDP data in early trades and then the focus would shift to the monthly derivatives expiry. While the Nifty has been hovering around its crucial hurdle of 15,900, the recent decline in the banking index is pointing towards more pain ahead. Participants should maintain caution and focus more on overnight risk management,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking.
