Following the Asian market, the domestic indices opened on a positive note on Thursday. The markets cut some gains in the afternoon session but managed to remain in green.

On Tuesday, the domestic equities continued the upwards journey for the second straight session as low-level buying pushed benchmark indices higher. Lack of major selling reasons in the domestic and global market along with a drop in commodity prices seems to have augured well for the markets. 

The equity benchmark indices closed higher in a volatile session on Monday. The hopeful trends in the global markets motivated the domestic market to trade higher, in which, the large-cap stocks rose the most while the mid-cap and small-cap stocks in broader markets continued to trade under pressure.  

For the sixth day in a row, domestic bourses ended down with the Nifty falling below 15,300, while shares of Titan plunged more than 6 per cent.
