Pre-Market Update: Flat-to-negative start likely on Dalal Street? GIFT Nifty futures inch lower

GIFT Nifty Futures Update: Domestic equity benchmarks are set to make a muted-to-negative start to the trading week on Monday, July 14, with GIFT Nifty futures--an early indicator of the 50-blue-chip index--inching lower at the last count ahead of the opening bell on Dalal Street. The sluggish pre-market signal for the Nifty 50 index comes amid largely negative moves across major Asian markets after a weak session on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell 279.1 points, or 0.6 per cent, to settle at 44,371.5.
