Indian equities are likely to open lower on Tuesday, tracking bearish trend in Nifty futures on the Singapore Stock Exchange and weak trading across Asian markets. The Asian stocks were trading lower after Wall Street ended flat with negative bias in overnight trade as investors remained sidelined ahead of a busy earnings week from big US companies. Back home, bearish trend in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for July delivery, which were trading at 9,915.00, down by 29.50 points or 0.30 per cent, at 10:43 AM Singapore time, also signaled a negative opening for local bourses. On the economy front, investors will keep an eye on the progress of the monsoon session of Parliament, which is feared to be washed away due to issues of cow vigilantism, farmers’ protests, unrest in Kashmir and India’s stand-off with China, says ET report. On the corporate front, cigarette making companies will remain in focus as the government has hiked the cess on cigarettes to compensate manufacturer losses from lower GST rates. SBI Life Insurance, a joint venture (JV) between the State Bank of India (SBI) and BNP Paribas Cardif, has filed its draft red herring prospectus with the Sebi to raise up to Rs 7,000 crore through initial public offering (IPO) of equity shares. On the earnings front, more than ten companies will announce their June quarter results today, which include, UltraTech Cement, Jubilant Life Sciences and CRISIL.

Infosys shares ended up over 1 per cent after IT major reported a 3.3 per cent year-on-year drop in net profit at Rs 3,483 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2017. The company, however, continued to maintain its constant currency revenue growth guidance of 6.5 to 8.5 per cent. Wipro emerged as top gainers after the company announced that its board would consider share buyback.
