1171: Marketbuzz Podcast with Sudarshan Kumar: Sensex, Nifty 50 to open with minor cuts, Delta Corp and Zee in focus

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to start the trading session of January 10 with minor cuts, following mixed cues from global markets.

On Wall Street, US indices closed near the flat line after a range bound session overnight. Some of the technology stocks helped NASDAQ close in the green while S&P 500 was flat. Dow too saw recovery from day’s low but failed to turn positive. The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 0.35% in morning trade, after logging losses in each of the six previous sessions.

Meanwhile, India's GIFT Nifty was trading at 21,573 as of 8:18 a.m. IST, suggesting the NSE Nifty 50 will open near its close of 21,544.85 on January 9.

Among the key stocks to track are Zee Entertainment, Delta Corp, Vedanta, and SpiceJet.
