INDIAN BENCHMARKS are likely to witness negative opening as the global cues look unsupportive with SGX Nifty trading 81.50 points lower. Indian equity benchmarks are likely to witness a gap down opening on Wednesday tracking a bearish trend across Asia as traders weigh a cutback of global economic growth forecasts by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) amidst an ongoing China slowdown, and a continued oil price collapse, souring the appetite for riskier assets. Indian shares rose on Tuesday, snapping a three-session losing streak as beaten-down banking and financial stocks and Reliance Industries recovered, while sentiment was also supported by hopes for stimulus measures in China. The S&P BSE Sensex and CNX Nifty ended 1.21%-1.14% higher each.
