SGX Nifty:
Trading of Nifty 50 index futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates that the Nifty could jump 207 points at the opening bell.
Global markets:
Overseas, Asian stocks are trading higher on Thursday after a better-than-expected inflation report in the US sent stocks spiraling higher. Japan’s market is closed for a holiday Thursday.
Wall Street equities rallied after signs of sharply decelerating U.S. inflation prompted bets that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates at a slower pace than previously expected.
The US consumer price index rose by 8.5% year on year in July, a slower annual increase compared with June, as inflationary pressures eased on the back of lower petrol prices. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was flat last month after advancing 1.3% in June, the Labor Department said on Wednesday.
