The Indian Market is expected to have positive opening as government won the confidence vote over the nuclear deal, which ensures its continuation. Also, supported by strong global cues as US markets closed with good gains and Asian markets are trading higher and a drop in crude oil prices. On Tuesday, the Indian market closed with good gains. The domestic market opened on flat note, but gathered the momentum to trade firm on hopes that the government will last its term. Further continuous buying support led the market to close on upbeat note. The BSE Sensex ended above 14,000 level and NSE Nifty closed above 4,200 mark. From the sectoral front, the FMCG and Power indices closed with a growth of more than 4%. Along with this huge buying was seen in Metal, Capital Goods, Bank and Oil & Gas stocks. However, Auto stock was only sufferer of negative sentiment. The BSE Sensex closed higher by 254.16 points at 14,104.20 and NSE Nifty ended up by 80.60 points at 4,240.10. We expect that market may see some bull run during the trading session.
