Indian markets are likely to open positive tracking global indices and SGX Nifty.

US stocks moved mostly higher over the course of the trading session extending the strong upward move seen last week. With the gains all three of the major averages reached new record closing highs. The Dow Jones ended on an upside front of 0.5% at 26215 and the Nasdaq Composite edged up to 7408.

The Sensex edged up to 0.8% at 35798 while the Nifty ended at 10966 with an upside of 0.7%.
