Pre Session- Sensex to open lower on Asia sell-off

The key domestic benchmarks may open lower today tracking a massive sell-off across markets in Asia amid speculation that commitment by global central banks to maintain easy money policy may not be enough to offset a waning global economic recovery. US Fed officials last week signaled risks to the country’s economic outlook from a slowing global economy while fears of a renewed recession in the Euro area have risen. China’s Shanghai Composite tumbled despite positive trade data which showed a 15.3 per cent, year on year rise in exports in September 2014. Hang Seng fell while Japan’s Nikkei 225 was closed today.
