Indian shares likely to open flat ahead of US jobs data
BENGALURU, Sept 6 (Reuters) -India's benchmark indexes are set to open little changed on Friday, as traders await a crucial U.S. jobs report to gauge the size and speed of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts.
The GIFT Nifty GIFc1 was trading at 25,176 points as of 8:05 a.m. IST, indicating that the NSE Nifty 50 .NSEI will open near its previous close of 25,145.1.
The blue-chip index hit a record high at the start of the week but has lost 0.36% since as investors remain jittery about the health of the U.S. economy and due to the lack of domestic cues.
"Indian equities have taken a pause and are trading at higher zones, with every dip being bought ahead of key U.S. data and the Fed's rate decision later in the month," said Siddhartha Khemka, head of research of wealth management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
Concerns over a slowdown in the U.S. labour market have re-emerged after data showed soft job openings overall and fewer job gains in the private sector, raising expectations of an aggressive 50-basis-point rate cut when the Fed meets on Sept. 17-18.
The U.S. non-farm payroll report for August, due after Indian markets close, will give more clarity on the health of the labour market, which will guide the odds of the quantum of a rate cut.
A weak report will raise the odds of a 50 bps cut, while a report showing a recovering labour market will bolster bets of a 25 bps cut.
A U.S. rate cut is to increase foreign fund inflows to emerging markets such as India.
