Nifty 50 (18,630) and Sensex (62,900) have opened the week on a positive note.

The indices opened with a gap-up following bullish cues from the Asian market — Nikkei 225 (32,100), ASX 200 (7,220), Hang Seng (19,050), and KOSPI (26,150) are up between 0.5 and 1.8 per cent so far today.

Indicating a broad-based buying, all the mid- and small-cap indices in the domestic market are in the green. Moreover, barring Nifty Realty (down by 0.25 per cent), all other sectors have gained.

Nifty Media, up by 1.6 per cent, and Nifty Auto, up by 1 per cent, are the best performers today. The above factors clearly show a bullish inclination and we expect the market to remain positive for the rest of the day.
