Trading Calls: Buy ACC, Adani Enterprises, Hindustan Zinc, Says Expert

Indian stock markets are likely to open flat on Monday with the SGX Nifty trading 22 points higher at 10311.50 on Singapore Exchange. Macro-economic data points, coupled with the commencement of Parliament's winter session and global cues, especially crude oil prices, are expected to determine the trajectory of the key equity indices this week. According to market observers, other factors like expectations on the outcome of the Gujarat assembly elections, along with the direction of foreign fund flows and the rupee's movement against the US dollar will also impact investors' risk-taking appetite.

The Nifty is expected to trade in the range of 10,100-10,400 points during the week, D K Aggarwal, chairman and managing director of SMC Investments & Advisors, told news agency IANS (Indo-Asian News Service).

On Friday, the NSE Nifty closed up 0.97 per cent at 10,265.65, rising 1.42 per cent for the week, while the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) benchmark index, Sensex, ended 0.91 per cent higher at 33,250.30, climbing 1.27 per cent for the week. The 30-scrip BSE index posted its biggest weekly gain since early November.
