Pre-market: Sensex to open weak; March derivatives contract expiry eyed: 26/03/2015

The BSE’s 30-share benchmark index- Sensex is expected to open lower on Thursday as investors will remain cautious ahead of the expiry of March derivatives contract later today. The investors’ sentiments will be further dampened by weak trend in most of the Asian markets that are following a sharp decline in the US markets. 

Overnight, the Wall Street witnessed major selloff amid political concerns in Yemen. The durable goods order for the month of February in the US also posted decline, which further weakened investors’ risk taking appetite.
