The Indian markets opened on a positive note on the first day of the April series. Some fresh buying at lower levels helped the markets to remain positive. However, there aren’t many triggers for the Indian markets to cheer about. Both Sensex and Nifty are trading up by 1.08% and 1.12% respectively.
Other Asian markets were mixed today due to the absence of any triggers from the global markets, which kept the investors away from the market. Weak Industrial Production data in Japan also hurt the investors' sentiments in Tokyo.
Overall, the investors' mood across the globe remained subdued on the back of weak economic data from the US and the slowdown in China, factors that have raised concerns over the recovery of the major global economies.
