SGX Nifty reports that the Nifty 50 opened higher than its previous finish of 18,199.1 at 18,288.8. Strong global cues were to blame for this. It swiftly turned around, though, and started to decline in the direction of the day’s low of 18,106.6. The major Wall Street indices saw their biggest daily gains so far in December on Wednesday.
