Market may open lower following weak global cues:
``Today, we expect the Indian markets to open lower following weak global cues. However, later during the day it could try and recover part of the losses. Among the sectors, Banking and IT stocks look weak. Sectors like FMCG and Healthcare could outperform, `` said HDFC Securities.
North American markets are pointing toward a slightly lower open Friday, as investors await a reading on just how weak the US economy was during the fourth quarter.
