Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a higher opening for the index in India with a 95 points gain.
Indian markets could open higher, in line with mostly positive Asian markets today and higher Nasdaq Composite in US markets on Wednesday, said Deepak Jasani, Head-Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
Gaurav Udani, CEO & Founder, ThincRedBlu Securities, said, "Nifty is expected to open positive at 18,250 up by 70 points. Nifty has support in 17,800-17,850 range. Nifty is in a bullish trend and traders can consider buy on dips with strict stoploss for 18,275 and 18,300 as targets."
Nifty closed higher for the fifth consecutive session on October 13. In the process it closed above 18,000 for the first time ever. At close Nifty was up 0.94 percent or 170 points to 18,162.
Nifty continues the upmove unabatedly and has closed above 18000. Advance decline ratio ended marginally in the positive. Technical indicators on daily charts are close to becoming overbought and hence some correction/ consolidation in the index may be seen over the next 1-2 sessions after an initial upmove seen on Wednesday.
