Indian equities opened on a positive note Thursday, coinciding with the weekly F\\&O expiry for Nifty, supported by gains in Bajaj Finserv, Reliance Industries, Kotak Bank, TCS, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors, and Axis Bank.<\/p>\n

The BSE Sensex climbed 169 points, or 0.21 per cent, to 82,027 in early trade, while the NSE Nifty50 advanced 36 points, or 0.14 per cent, to 25,086.<\/p>\n

In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap index rose 0.26 per cent and the SmallCap index added 0.42 per cent. Sectorally, Nifty Bank edged up 0.14 per cent, Financial Services gained 0.35 per cent, and Realty advanced 0.7 per cent.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Media (-0.5 per cent), IT (-0.35 per cent) and FMCG (-0.28 per cent) were under pressure.<\/p>\n

Global Cues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across Asia, markets opened mixed as investors tracked the S&P 500\u2019s four-day losing streak. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.3%, while South Korea\u2019s KOSPI gained about 1%.<\/p>\n

On Wall Street overnight, equities closed mixed as technology stocks extended their decline and retail earnings sent conflicting signals. The S&P 500 fell 0.24% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.67%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended flat with a slight positive bias.<\/p>\n
