FAST MONEY: IDBI Bank, Tata Chemicals among key trading ideas for today

The domestic market is expected to open lower on Wednesday, tracking negative trend in Asian markets, which faltered as risk appetite soured after comments from new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revived fears about faster rate hikes in the United States.

At 8:30 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 10,502, up 60 points or 0.57 per cent.

Fed chief Powell said his outlook for the US economy had strengthened since December - upbeat comments that investors viewed as a potential sign he was open to quickening the path of interest rate hikes this year.

Powell’s first workday as Fed chair was February 5, the same day as the stock market’s biggest one-day plunge in more than six years.

On Tuesday, the S&P BSE Sensex settled at 34,346, down 99.36 points, while the broader Nifty50 ended at 10,554, down 28.30 points.

The indices were dragged by banking stocks after Punjab National Bank (PNB) uncovered more fraudulent transactions, while investors traded cautiously ahead of key economic data later this week.
