Indian shares set to open lower; Reliance in focus
BENGALURU, Aug 29 (Reuters) -Indian shares are set to open marginally lower on Thursday, tracking a drop in Asian and U.S. peers, while Reliance Industries RELI.NS will be in focus after the company and Walt Disney bagged approval for the merger of their Indian media assets.
The GIFT Nifty GIFc1 was trading at 25,014 as of 08:18 a.m. IST, indicating that the NSE Nifty 50 .NSEI will open slightly below its previous close of 25,052.35.
The benchmark Nifty 50 hit a record high on Wednesday, but trimmed gains as profit booking across most sectors capped gains in information technology stocks.
"We expect the gradual uptick in the markets to continue, but markets are likely to remain volatile in this session on account of monthly derivatives expiry," said Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Asian markets opened lower, dragged down by technology stocks. The MSCI Asia ex-Japan index dropped 0.7%.

Investors are now looking out for the preliminary estimate of U.S. gross domestic product for the second quarter, due later in the day, and the U.S. Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation - the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index - on Friday, for clues into the central bank's rate easing plans.
Reliance Industries will be in focus after the oil-to-telecom conglomerate and Walt Disney DIS.N won approval for the $8.5 billion merger of their Indian media assets.
Investors are also awaiting the company's annual general meeting (AGM), due later in the day, for potential announcements about the retail and telecom units and updates on the new energy and oil-to-chemicals businesses.
