Earlier today, the benchmarks made a higher opening on cues from global markets. Sensex opened 406.71 points, or 0.55 per cent higher at 75,017.80 while Nifty inched 118.10 or 0.52 per cent higher at 22,766.30.

India’s GIFT Nifty is trading at 113.50 points, or 22,897.00 higher at the time of opening bell. The blue-chip indexes closed higher in the previous session, as the market digested a less-hawkish US Federal Reserve stance and easing oil prices. The Brent crude oil price is trading below $85 a barrel mark.

From the Sensex basket, Bajaj Finance jumped 6 per cent, while Bajaj Finserv climbed nearly 5 per cent after RBI lifted restrictions on sanctioning and disbursal of loans through eCOM and Insta EMI Card.

The crude oil, however, has witnessed a minor elevation in its prices in the last two session. Brent crude oil is trading 0.31 per cent higher at 83.93 a barrel while WTI oil price is 0.33 per cent up at 79.21 a barrel.

Easing tensions in the West Asia between Israel and Iran, positive domestic earnings prints have fuelled optimism and buying interest. The oil prices are headed for sharpest weekly decline in three months.
