“The news of the COVID situation worsening globally has started weighing on the sentiment along with the inflation fear. And since there’s no major event on the domestic front, markets will continue to take cues from global counterparts. At the same time, the scheduled monthly expiry would keep the traders busy on Thursday. We suggest continuing with negative bias on the index while keeping a check on leveraged positions. Nifty has next major support around 17,150 zone.”

Mukesh Ambani’s RIL said that its board has decided to implement a Scheme of Arrangement to transfer Gasification Undertaking into a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. “The Gasification project at Jamnagar was set up with the objective to produce syngas to meet the energy requirements as refinery off-gases, which earlier served as fuel, were repurposed into feedstock for the Refinery Off Gas Cracker (ROGC). This enables the production of olefins at competitive capital and operating costs. Syngas as a fuel ensures reliability of supply and helps reduce volatility in energy costs. Syngas is also used to produce Hydrogen for consumption in the Jamnagar refinery,” RIL said.
