Domestic markets are expected to open on Tuesday on a negative-to-flat note amid weak global cues. As the Union Government announced fresh relief measures to boost economy, experts believe that the market is likely to move in a range with limited downfall.

The SGX Nifty is currently ruling at 15,858 indicates (8 am) a flat opening as the Nifty futures on Monday closed at 15,855 and the spot at 15,814.70.

The divergent trend continued at the US bourses, with tech-focussed Nasdaq and the broader S&P 500 edging up almost one per cent and 0.23 per cent respectively, even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.44 per cent.

Led by Japan, most Asian markets are weak in the morning trade. Equities in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Australia slipped between 0.5 per cent and one per cent.

The Finance Minister on Monday announced eight economic relief packages, including four new ones to boost economic recovery. It was largely aimed at extending support to the worst affected sectors due to the pandemic. The announcements included extension to Atmanirbhar Bharat Rozgar Yojana, a free tourist visa scheme, additional Rs 1.5 lakh crore for ECLGS, and 1.1 lakh crore loan guarantee scheme for Covid affected sectors, among others.

According to Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities, A lot of thought seems to have gone into the announcements with a wide spectrum of the population intended to get reliefs. Although the total impact amount seems large at nearly Rs.6.29 lakh crore, a large portion of this is from credit guarantee schemes where there is no immediate outflow. However, the provision of credit guarantee oils the wheels of the respective focus areas enabling faster return to normalcy.

"Additional food subsidy, health spends for children and broadband support for 94,000 villages are some of the announcements that will need actual and immediate spends on causes that are well deserved. The impact of these announcements on the fiscal deficit will be limited while the stock markets could give a mild positive reaction to them,” he added.
