Nifty futures were trading 65.80 points or 0.58 per cent higher at 11,359.80 on Singaporean Exchange in early deals, suggesting a higher start for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on Tuesday. Market participants will track the industrial output data for the month of June scheduled to be released later in the day today. Besides, COVID-19 cases, geopolitical tensions, global cues, stock-specific actions and corporate results will continue to sway investor sentiment. “With the rising US-China tensions and resurging COVID cases, the uncertainties are increasing. The markets are likely to remain volatile, with more stock-specific action as the earnings season progresses. Investors would watch out for development over US-China tension while any announcement of US stimulus could bring some cheer,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
