After the US payrolls data released on Friday, the benchmark indices today opened with higher tracing positive trade in Asian Markets.  

Around 10:10 AM, the S&P BSE Sensex was trading at 26,746, down 12 points, while the broader Nifty50 was ruling at 8,242, down 1 points. 

Brokerage BNP Paribas on the technical note said that "The stay inside the 8,300-8,350 region has been brief and has not been surprsinng, but the turn lower thereof has lent a neutral bias, retaining the potential for directional moves on either side. Upside prospects will be open above 8,260, but will be limited to 8,330-8,350 for the time being, though, the 8,580 view remains in play. Meanwhile, direct fall below 8,260 could call for 8,120," 

On the top movers of the Sensex were ONGC, Cipla and Sun Pharma who gained upto 1%.
