Indian equities are poised to open flat with negative bias on Thursday amid sustained selling by foreign portfolio investors, tracking mixed cues from fellow Asian peers after Wall Street ended lower in overnight trade as falling commodity prices, especially oil, spooked traders to limit their exposure to risky assets. Muted trend in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for April delivery, which were trading at 9,131.00, down by 4.50 points or 0.05 per cent, at 10:44 AM Singapore time, also signaled a flat opening for local bourses. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs), which were largely buyers of Indian equities, started trimming their exposure to Indian equities on concerns over the health of the global economy. In lack of any major trigger on domestic or global front, market will see stock-specific movement based on the fourth quarter earnings report. Investors will react to fourth quarter earnings report of YES Bank after private sector lender reported a 30.2 per cent growth in profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 914.1 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to Rs 702.10 crore in the corresponding quarter of last year. On the corporate front, Crisil, Mindtree, Mastek and Hindustan Zinc, will release their financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 today. Among others, Nestle, MCX, Berger Paints, Bajaj Finserv, Fortis Healthcare, MRPL, NBCC and 9 others stocks will remain focus after the National Stock Exchange announced to add them to the futures and options segment with effect from April 28.
