Domestic markets are expected to open on a strong note on Tuesday, amidst positive global cues. On Monday, despite a global rout, Indian markets recovered sharply from the day's low on the back of short-covering in select counters and on bottom fishing.

According to experts, the trend is likely to continue, though the market may see some profit-booking at higher levels. Besides, settlement of June contracts on Thursday in F&O will add volatility, they added.

The SGX Nifty at 15,860 indicates a gap-up opening of over a 100 points for Nifty futures. While Nifty June futures closed at 15,743.80, the July series closed in the premium at 15,791.80, against the spot close of 15,746.50.

According to analysts, as the system is flooded with liquidity, markets are rising sharply despite stiff valuations.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 590 points, or 1.76 per cent overnight, while the S&P 500 gained 58 points or 1.4 per cent, and the tech-focussed Nasdaq edged up 111 points or 0.8 per cent.

Asian markets too on Tuesday opened with smart gains. Stocks from Japan to Taiwan, and from Australia to Korea, gained between 0.5 per cent to a little over 3 per cent.

Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities, said Nifty showed another spectacular recovery from the opening lows after a similar show on Friday. “Lack of large volumes on such days reflect that only fringe players are getting panicky and action otherwise keeps rotating among stocks – both large-caps and mid-caps. While rising however, indices may be slow in the absence of positive triggers.”

However, most analysts believe in the India growth story.

“India is much better prepared for the third wave, if it happens, with the vaccination drive gathering pace and increases in medical supplies. We also believe that the underlying structural trends remain quite positive for India. GST collections have been more than ₹1-lakh crore for eight months now. The monsoon is also expected to be at normal or above normal levels. Therefore, we believe that every dip in the indices should be considered as an investment opportunity.”
