Good morning, everyone. It's Thursday, January 14, and welcome to today's Market Ahead, a pre-market podcast from Business Standard. Global cues, stock-specific triggers and macro data along with Q3 earnings are likely to guide the Indian markets when they open for trading today. Going by the SGX Nifty futures that traded 26 points up at 14,599 around 7.20 am, D-Street could witness a flat-to-positive start to Thursday's session and Sensex could once again make a dash for 50,000 mark. In overnight trade, Wall Street closed mixed as investors waited for details of the next US fiscal stimulus plan, expected to be announced by President-elect Joe Biden later today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.03%, the S&P 500 gained 0.23%, and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.43%.
