Brokers said buying by funds in select stocks, having strong fundamentals amid a mixed trend in other Asian bourses, influenced the trading sentiment here. They said, however, tomorrow's monthly expiry in the derivatives segment forced participants to keep their commitments restricted.
In Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose by 0.32%, while Japan's Nikkei shed 0.39% in early trade. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.43% lower in yesterday's trade on mixed economic data.
