Stocks To Watch: Maruti Suzuki India, Bajaj Auto, HUL, TVS Motor

New Delhi: The domestic stock markets are expected to trade cautiously on Thursday, taking cues from the global markets. Asian shares edged higher in choppy trading, helped by advances in Chinese real estate shares, though fears about the Omicron variant of the new coronavirus capped gains regionally. Trends on SGX Nifty indicated a lower opening for the markets back home. The Nifty Futures on Singapore Exchange also known as the SGX Nifty Futures fell 0.30 per cent or 51.75 points to 17,183.20.

The benchmark BSE Sensex had ended 619.92 points or 1.09 per cent higher at 57,684.79 on Wednesday; while the broader NSE Nifty had surged 183.70 points or 1.08 per cent to close at 17,166.90.
