Indian Shares Likely To Open On Positive Note

(RTTNews) - Higher SGX Nifty and cues from Wall Street and Asian markets point to a positive start for Indian shares on Monday.

Asian stocks are broadly higher today, tracking positive cues from Wall Street, where stocks rallied on Friday on bargain hunting and strong results from Apple Inc.

Investors are also likely to react to a slew of earnings updates from Indian companies.

Coal India reported consolidated net profit of Rs 5,527.62 crore for the March quarter, down 17.7% from a year ago. Consolidated revenue for the quarter rose 17.3% year on year.

Piramal Enterprises Limited reported a net loss of Rs 196 crore in the January - March quarter as against a profit of Rs 151 crore a year ago.

European stocks closed on a buoyant note on Friday, lifted by encouraging U.S. jobs data and slightly easing worries about banking sector woes.
