Taking a cue from global markets, the key Indian equity market indices on Thursday opened higher. The Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE, which had closed at 32,760.44 points on Wednesday, opened higher at 32,829.82 points. Minutes into trading, it was quoting at 32,921.74 points, up by 161.30 points, or 0.49 per cent. At the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the broader 51-scrip Nifty, which had closed at 10,118.05 points, was quoting at 10,159 points, up by 40.95 points or 0.40 per cent.
The equity indices on Wednesday were dragged lower for the third consecutive day as sentiments were hampered by weak global cues, a huge sell-off in metal stocks, as well as disappointing trade deficit data released a day before.
