Pre Session Market

The Indian Market is likely to have a positive opening due to firm cues from the global markets. On Thursday, the Indian market closed with good gains on the back of heavy buying across the sectoral indices. Tracking the strong favoring cues from the global markets, the domestic market opened with a bang and kept of hovering in the positive territory throughout the trading session. Also, lower than expected inflation figures that stood at 7.14% for the week ended 5 April 2008 as against 7.41% last week gave a boost to the investor’s sentiment. The Small Cap and Mid Cap also remained the centre of attraction as most buying was also seen from these baskets. From the sectoral point, Metal, Realty and Bankex indices posted heavy gains. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 237.01 points at 16,481.20 and NSE Nifty closed up by 71.1 points at 4,958.40. We expect that the market will see some bull run during the trading session.
