Today domestic markets are likely to open negative as other markets across Asia have opened with brutal losses. The only domestic news that would storm the markets today is the merger of RIL and RPL. The swap ratio is not yet confirmed however there are anticipations that RIL's stock may surge due to certain advantages of merger. Sterlite Industries could be another stock in motion today as the company has bid US Asarco for $ 1.5 billion. However the domestic market sentiments are likely to track the movements and sentiments of other Asian markets. One could witness selling pressure amidst volatility during the day's trading session.
On Friday, the markets managed to pare off it early losses but still closed in red. The sentiments were weak since the opening and there was enough selling pressure across broader markets. Majority of Asian markets were trading in red and all the European markets could hardly survive the claw of bears.

However at the fag end of trading session, fresh buying helped recover some early losses. Sectors like Bankex, FMCG and Metal managed to close in green by gains of 1.31%, 0.34% and 0.22% respectively. However Realty, Oil & Gas and Tech were the top laggards as they fell by 2.29%, 1.64% and 1.40% respectively.
