The domestic stock markets are likely to open on a cautious note amid weak global cues. Wall Street fell on Thursday on fears of a faster tapering of the Federal Reserve's bond purchase program, although gains in banks and some strong earnings reports helped cap losses. Asia-Pacific markets tumbled in early trade on Friday as investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's annual Jackson Hole symposium where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak. And trends on SGX Nifty indicate a cautious opening for the Nifty, with a 12-point loss.
On Thursday, the BSE Sensex was up 4.89 points at 55,949.10 and Nifty rose 2.20 points to 16,636.90.
