02.15 Pm - Nifty Fut : Buy Zone
The key domestic benchmark indices were trading higher in the late afternoon trading session on account of sustained buying activities by both funds and retail investors and on firming trend in Asian markets, on the back of stronger-than-expected US jobs report released on Friday.

Dalal Street this week will be dictated by the RBI’s policy meeting, the last leg of corporate earnings, macro-economic data and the progress of monsoon rains. The RBI on Tuesday may maintain status quo on interest rates as a pickup in inflation in the past three months amid a jump in food prices has left little room for further monetary easing.

The focus will also be on the June industrial output data and July consumer inflation to be released on Friday.

At 02:15 PM, the Bombay Stock Exchange bellwether Sensex was at 28167.56 up by 89.21 points or by 0.32 per cent, while the NSE Nifty was at 8703.35 points, trading higher by 20.2 points or by 0.23 per cent.

(Rs. 1699.85,+1.51 per cent), Reliance Industries Ltd. (Rs. 1029.00,+1.42 per cent), Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (Rs. 1358.70,+1.36 per cent), among others.

On the global front, Asian stocks were trading higher today after strong U.S. jobs data reassured investors that the world's largest economy still was growing boosting American stocks. The US markets ended higher in the previous trading session as traders cheered the July jobs data even as it bolstered the case for an interest rate hike before the end of the year.
