Markets open strong on positive cues

The Indian markets opened on a strong positive note today on the back of positive cues coming in from the Asian market. For the previous two days, the markets remained quiet and traded flat on back of various global events. Moody’s downgrade of ratings of six more European countries also hurt investor sentiments. However, China coming to the aid of the debt crisis of the European countries today boosted sentiments across the globe. Both the Sensex and Nifty are trading up with 1.26% and 1.28% gains respectively.

Other Asian markets are trading on a positive note today on the back of news that China will help the European countries to resolve the crisis. This brought some ray of hope among investors with regard to the debt-strangled European nations.

The European markets too closed on a negative note yesterday as the European leaders called off the meeting on the austerity plan with Greece.
