Pre Session Market

The Indian Market , is likely to have a positive opening today due to strong favoring cues from the global markets. On Wednesday, the Indian market after giving up most of its initial gains closed marginally above the previous day closing. Though the market opened on a strong note backed by favoring cues from the global markets but was unable to sustain at higher levels and gave up most of its gains as the profit booking prevails. However the small caps and mid caps posted good gains across the counters. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 90.53 points at 16,244.19 and NSE Nifty closed up by 7.65 points at 4,887.30. We expect that the market will gain some grounds and will continue its yesterday’s rally during the trading session.

The Indian stock market will remain closed tomorrow (18-04-2008) for the celebration of Mahavir Jayanti.
