Trend in SGX Nifty indicates a strong opening for Indian markets on Monday. While Asian markets are trading mixed in early deal, the US and most European stocks closed higher on Friday.

As the result season for the April-June quarter starts from this week, analysts expect stock-specific action and narrow movement for broader market due to lack of any global or domestic triggers. However, fund flow from foreign portfolio institutional investors is a key element to sustain the momentum, marketmen said.

According to Motilal Oswal Financial Services "We expect earnings momentum to accelerate in FY22 as the pace of vaccinations picks up and the economy opens up further. BFSI and commodities are expected to drive FY22E earnings. The market has been strong and largely looked through the second Covid wave on the back of strong liquidity and robust participation from non-institutional investors."

SGX Nifty is currently ruling at 15,835 (8 am IST), as against Nifty futures close of 15,741.55, signalling about 100-point gap up opening for Nifty.

S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities, said: "As the Profit to GDP ratio hit a 7-year high, foreign portfolio investors continued to repose faith in Indian Equities with positive flows of over ₹120 bn during the month of June 2021. The month of June witnessed a gradual opening up of the localised lockdown seen in April & May and FPI's bought stocks across sectors like IT, Fintech & Insurance which again was pretty much broad-based across Largecaps & Midcaps"
