Indian equity benchmarks are likely to witness a gap down opening on Friday tracking a sluggish trend in Asia and a bearish finish at Wall Street overnight as crude oil prices held near a one-month low at below USD 45 per barrel while heightened anxiety ahead of the US Presidential elections next week curbed risk taking appetite. Losses in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for November delivery which were trading at 8,492, down by 27 points or 0.32 per cent at 10:34 AM Singapore time, signal that the Sensex may open lower today. Investors are on the edge with polls showing tightening race for the White House, while sinking oil prices and Brexit uncertainty following a court order allowing Britain’s Parliament to hold a vote before starting the countdown to Brexit have marred the appetite for risky assets with investors seeking to take shelter in safe havens. The focus will on the shares of Central Bank of India, Pfizer and Union Bank of India as they reveal their September quarter earnings numbers. A quicker expansion in India’s services activity last month signals a pickup in Asia’s third biggest economy. Indian services gauge climbed to 54.5 in October 2016 from 52 in September 2016, with a reading above 50 signaling expansion. Marking a fourth straight session in the red, the 30-share Sensex on Thursday closed at 27,430.28, down by 96.94 points or by 0.35 per cent with investors across the globe on tenterhooks amid uncertainty surrounding the US Presidential elections.

Asian stocks were trading mixed as investor sentiment remained cautious ahead of looming US Presidential elections with latest polls showing that Hillary Clinton was only narrowly ahead of her Republican rival Donald Trump. Uncertainty over Brexit following a landmark court ruling on Thursday which left Theresa May’s Brexit plan in tatters and could lead to a snap UK election also made traders nervous. Further, the Bank of England said that it is unlikely to cut interest rates this year while investors are eying the US October payrolls data to be released on Friday which may show accelerating job growth, calling for higher interest rates soon. Shanghai Composite rose led by gains in industrial firms on government’s plans to bolster spending on railways and bridges. Hang Seng was flat and Nikkei 225 tumbled over 1 per cent as a stronger yen curbed the lure for exporter stocks. US stocks fell on Thursday with benchmark S&P 500 marking its longest stretch of losses since 2008 as US jobless claims hit the highest level in almost three months, up 7,000 to 265,000 last week while a gauge measuring services slipped to 54.8 in October from 57.1 in the prior month.
