Indian benchmark indices are likely to open on a higher note, hinted SGX Nifty. On the Singapore Exchange, Nifty futures were in the green, up 68 points, at the 17,700 level. Markets posted a strong rebound on Friday and gained over one and a half percent, tracking supportive global cues.

“The market had more reasons to cheer today than to worry about concerns regarding inflation. PSU Banks led the sectoral rally as reports of foreign investments in Adani stocks helped the sector in recouping the dampened sentiments. The sentiment was further lightened as FIIs turned in strong buyers. Positive global sentiments also played a vital role in uplifting the market, as a Fed official commented on a favourable level of rate hike in the next meeting,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
