The key domestic benchmarks are likely to open higher today after a three-day holiday tracking a positive trend in major Asian markets. While China’s Shanghai Composite remained closed due to national holidays, Hang Seng was trading higher and Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose ahead of the Bank of Japan’s policy meet where it is tipped to maintain record stimulus to help revive the world’s third biggest economy. Back home, investors will be keenly eying the Q2 earnings season set to kick-start from Friday when the country’s second biggest services software exporter Infosys, the IT bellwether unveils its results for the July-September quarter. Further, FII inflows will also be a key trigger for Indian stock markets this week. Markets will also be eying the HSBC India Services PMI for the month of September and the August industrial output data on Friday which will offer further cues over the health of Asia’s third biggest economy.
