The domestic market is expected to open higher even as Asian markets were trading mixed on Wednesday as investor nerves were strained ahead of a US inflation report that could soothe, or inflame, fears of faster rate hikes globally.
At 8:30 am, SGX was trading at 10,548, up 83 points or 0.79 per cent.
Back home, banking stocks will remain in focus after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) revised guidelines to fight with the bad loans in banks.
The revised framework has specified norms for "early identification" of stressed assets, timelines for implementation of resolution plans, and a penalty on banks for failing to adhere to the prescribed timelines.
The latest notification issued by RBI last night has also withdrawn the existing mechanism which included Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme, Strategic Debt Restructuring Scheme (SDR) and Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A).
