Analyst View for Tomorrow

Ankit Jaiswal flags that funding costs and credit quality matter more here than broad market direction.

A fair reading of this nifty financial services ex bank prediction for tomorrow is that Wednesday's data sets the context, while Thursday's first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
