Pre Session Market

The Indian Market is likely to have a positive opening as the cues from the global markets are in favor. Yesterday, the market closed in deep red territory on the back of heavy selling across the counters. The market opened on a firm note backed by favoring cues from the global markets and inched up further but was unable to sustain at higher levels and fell to pare all its initial gains. Heavy selling was also seen from the Small Caps and Mid Caps baskets as they also joined the benchmark indices to close on a weak note. The BSE Sensex closed lower by 372.33 points at 17,221.74 and NSE Nifty fell by 169.95 points to close at 5,033.45. We expect that the market may see some bull run during the trading session as well as the releasing of inflation figures by the government will set further direction.
