Indian equities are poised to open little changed, with a negative bias, on Tuesday tracking muted cues from fellow Asian markets as traders begin to quiet down in the lead-up to Christmas. Muted trend in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for December delivery, which were trading at 8,124.50, down by 7.5 points or 0.09 per cent, at 10:42 AM Singapore time, also signaled a flat start for Sensex. The investors would react to the government’s decision to cut EPFO rate to 8.65 per cent for FY17 against 8.8 per cent in FY16 following the recent decline in yields. On the corporate front, Tata group companies would remain in focus after ousted Tata Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry resigned from the boards of six listed companies and vowed to take his fight against the Tatas to a legal forum.

On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly lower as attacks in Turkey and Germany made stocks pare their gains, while caution prevailed ahead of the Bank of Japan’s final policy meeting of the year. China’s Shanghai Composite fell 0.4 per cent and the Hang Seng dipped 0.06 per cent, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 was trading flat with slightly negative bias ahead of the BOJ’s meeting later in the day. In the overnight trade, Wall Street extended a rally that pushed US stocks to record high as investors continued to hope that the newly elected US President-elect Donald Trump would announce fiscal boost which will support riskier assets.

On Monday, the Indian equities ended lower on sustained selling by foreign portfolio investors and funds, tracking weak trend from fellow Asian peers, as sentiment remained fragile after the US Federal Reserve raised interest rate.
