Sensex, Nifty Likely To Open Higher Today

Domestic stock markets are likely to start Thursday's session on a higher note, amid gains in Asian peers on hopes of easing US-China trade concerns. The SGX Nifty futures trading on the Singapore Exchange were last seen trading 36.00 points - or 0.33 per cent - higher at 11,073.00 early on Thursday, ahead of the opening of Indian financial markets.

The SGX Nifty futures are an early indicator of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty in India. On Wednesday, the S&P BSE Sensex index had ended 86.48 points - or 0.23 per cent - higher at 37,231.93 and the broader NSE Nifty benchmark finished up 32.65 points - or 0.30 per cent - at 11,035.70. That marked the fifth consecutive session of gains for the Nifty, in which it rose 2.20 per cent.

Analysts awaited macroeconomic data due after market hours for cues.
