Indian equity markets are likely to start week’s last trading session on a positive note. SGX Nifty was up in green hinting that Indian benchmark indices NSE Nifty 50, BSE Sensex may open in green. “Nifty has again reached the upper band of the prevailing consolidation range (17,300-17,800) and a decisive breakout would fuel the next leg of the up move towards the 18,100 zone. Importantly, the rotational buying across sectors combined with steady foreign flows has strengthened the possibility of a breakout. Participants should align their positions accordingly and avoid contrarian trades,”
