Indian shares are likely to open negative

Indian markets are likely to open negative, taking cues from global markets. Asian stocks extended losses on Tuesday, as US stocks slumped to a 12-year low, with investors growing increasingly nervous about the health of the global financial system. The rupee is expected to fall on Tuesday as steep falls in global stock markets raise concerns of more capital outflows from the stock market, but the central bank is expected to intervene to check any sharp fall.
