Pre Session Market

The Indian Market is likely to have a positive opening as the Asian Market is trading in green. On Tuesday, the Indian market closed marginally higher. Though the market opened on a weak note tracking the subdued cues from the global markets but finally managed to made a smart comeback after mid session on the back of recovery in the Asian markets. This led to the heavy buying across the sectoral indices to post good gains. From the sectoral point, Realty, Metal and Capital goods indices reported good gains as most buying was seen from these baskets. The IT index today also continued its losing trend as TCS reported poor financial performance for the fourth quarter ended March 2008 in which its net profit fell by 5.95% to Rs1108.81 crore. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 44.54 points at 16,783.87 and NSE Nifty closed up by 12.3 points at 5,049.30. We expect that the market may remain range bound during the trading session.
