MARKET LIVE: SGX Nifty indicates a weak start; HDFC Life in focus


LIVE market updates: The Indian markets were staring at a weak opening on Tuesday amid a feeble trend in the Asian markets, although the announcement of the much-awaited fiscal package by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman could lend some support to the domestic indices, especially in the first half.


As such, stocks related to specific sectors like health tourism might remain in focus today. Apart from that, investors will also keep a keen eye on other stock-specific triggers, including the corporate results, while oil price movement — with OPEC+ meeting in the horizon — foreign fund flow will also be tracked.


Results today

IRCTC, Ruchi Soya, Cochin Minerals & Rutile, DCM, Omaxe, Sintex Industries, Suzlon Energy are among the list of companies that will announce their quarterly earnings on Tuesday.
