Indian equity markets opened higher after the long weekend. The BSE Sensex was up 420.63 points, or 0.58 per cent, at 72,330.33 at 9.16 a.m., after opening at 72,340.95 against the previous close of 71,909.70. The Nifty 50 gained 127.05 points, or 0.57 per cent, to 22,549.

Global cues have improved after weaker-than-expected US employment data reduced the probability of another Federal Reserve rate increase in October to below 25 per cent. However, elevated crude prices and US bond yields could limit gains and sustain pressure on foreign flows into Indian equities. Investors are also turning their attention to the upcoming RBI monetary policy meeting and the quarterly results season, which begins later this week.

Analysts expect the RBI’s MPC to maintain a cautious stance, with a potential 25 bps rate increase amid persistent inflation, elevated oil prices and concerns around a weaker monsoon.

Asian stocks are trading higher, while Brent crude is near $102 a barrel and the US 10-year Treasury yield remains around 5.28 per cent.

Marico: Domestic demand remained resilient during the quarter, even as the operating environment stayed volatile through the period. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic on consumption trends, while closely monitoring the evolving inflationary conditions.
