SGX Nifty:

Trading could be volatile as traders roll over positions in the F&O segment from the near month January series to February series. The January 2023 F&O contracts will expire today, 25 January 2023. The domestic stock market will remain shut on Thursday, 26 January 2023 on account of Republic Day.

Trading of Nifty 50 index futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates that the Nifty could fall 47 points at the opening bell.

Global markets:

Overseas, Asian stocks are trading mixed on Wednesday, taking the lead from Wall Street's struggle for direction as China and Hong Kong markets remain closed for the Lunar New Year holidays.

US stocks ended nominally lower on Tuesday at the close of a rocky session marked by a raft of mixed earnings and a technical malfunction at the opening bell.
