New Delhi, Oct 10
Indian stock markets opened on a flat note but soon moved higher on Friday, supported by positive global sentiment.
The easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and signs of a possible trade deal between the US and India boosted investor confidence.
After the opening bell, the Sensex gained 148 points, or 0.18 per cent, to trade at 82,320 levels. The Nifty also rose 40 points, or 0.16 per cent, to 25,221 levels.
“Though yesterday's push higher in the second half failed to clear the week's high, it did serve to invalidate the bearish bias of the evening star candle stick pattern,” market experts said.
