Pre Session Market

The Indian Market is likely to have a negative opening due to unfavoring cues from the global markets. On Monday, the Indian Markets posted good gains during the trading session to close on a satisfactory note by tracking the favoring cues from the global markets irrespective of hike in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 50 bps by Reserve Bank Of India on last Thursday i.e. 17-04-2008. The market opened with decent gains and kept on hovering in the positive territory throughout the trading session. From the Sectoral point, metal, capital goods and Bankex indices remained in the limelight as most buying was seen from these baskets however IT index gave up its last week winning trend to close on a negative note. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 258.13 points at 16,739.33 and NSE Nifty closed up by 78.6 points at 5,037. We expect that the market may give up its yesterday’s gains during the trading session.
