Pre Session Market

The Indian Market is likely to have a positive opening as the US market closed in green and Asian market is trading with marginal gains. On Monday, the Indian market beat its previous day losing trend to close in green as the investors showed some buying interest towards the close of the session. Despite disappointing industrial output data that stood at 3%, which was six years low the market managed to recover from the initial fall. The reality stocks were not in favour as most selling was reported from these baskets. However oil and gas stocks were in limelight. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 123.83 points at 16,860.90 and NSE Nifty went up 30.05 points to close at 5,012.65. We expect that the market may remain range bound during the trading session.

On Monday, the US market closed in green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed higher by 130.43 points at 12,876.31 along with S&P 500 grew by 15.30 points to close at 1,403.58 and NASDAQ higher by 42.97 points to close at 2,488.49.

In banking sector, HDFC bank grew by (0.79%) while ICICI bank dropped by (0.61%). In telecommunication sector, MTNL and Tata Communication slipped by (0.20%) and (1.18%).
