Sensex today: The benchmark indices are expected to open higher on Monday, tracking a relief rally in Asian markets after the latest US jobs report managed to impress with its strength while also easing fears of inflation and faster rate hikes, a neat feat that whetted risk appetites globally. At 8:30 am, the SGX Nifty, an early indicator of Nifty50's trend in India, was trading at 10,344, up 130.50 points or 1.28 per cent.
Market participants will keep a close eye on domestic macro-economic data releases. The government will announce inflation data based on consumer price index (CPI) for February and industrial production data (Index of Industrial Production, IIP) for January later in the day. Among Asian markets, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan firmed 0.4 per cent. Japan's Nikkei jumped 2 per cent, while South Korea rose 0.8 per cent.
Australia’s main index climbed 0.9 per cent and E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 added another 0.23 per cent.
