The domestic equity market is expected to see a tepid start on Friday as indicated by SGX Nifty. At 07:25 AM, Nifty futures on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) were trading 17.95 points, or 0.14 per cent lower at 12,798.80.

Snapping its ten-day gaining streak, the domestic stock market came under selling pressure on Thursday amid weak global cues and profit-booking in recent outperformers such as RIL, banks, and information technology (IT) counters.   The S&P BSE Sensex plunged 1,066 points, or 2.61 per cent to end the day at 39,728 levels while NSE's Nifty settled at 11,680, down 291 points, or 2.43 per cent.

Further, hopes for a US package to boost the coronavirus-hit economy before the presidential election next month have also fizzled out after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said such a deal would be difficult.   In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 0.6 per cent while Japan's Nikkei dropped 0.5 per cent.   Oil prices also fell as the renewed surge in the virus in large parts of the world underpinned concerns about economic activity.
