Nifty 50 February Futures (10,705)

Taking cues from the positive Asian markets, the Sensex and the Nifty began the session in the green, with a gap-up opening. The Nikkei 225 has climbed 128 points or 0.6 per cent to 21,431 and Hang Seng index has advanced 247 points or 0.88 per cent to 28,476 levels in today's session.

Both the Sensex and the Nifty have gained about 0.7 per cent each. The market breadth of the Nifty index is biased towards advances. The Nifty metal and PSU bank indices are witnessing buying interest and have surged 2 per cent and 1.4 per cent respectively.

The Nifty February month contract started the session with a gap-up open at 10,660. After an initial decline to the intra-day low to 10,649,  the contract resumed its up move. The near-term stance will remain bullish as long as the contract trades above 10,660 levels.
