Digital Desk: Domestic equities indices' bad luck has continued, as they have fallen in five of the last six sessions.
According to Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities, Indian markets opened substantially lower on Friday, following poor indications from other Asian and US markets.
"US markets plunged late Thursday to settle substantially down, with the Nasdaq falling 2.8 percent, as apprehensive investors looked ahead to a report on May inflation expected Friday morning," Jasani said.
