View on market: Stay Cautious, be with quality business:

Asian equities open on a positive note on Tuesday following the gains on Wall Street amid the strength in technology stocks and bets for less-aggressive rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. Stocks edged up in Australia and Japan, after the Nasdaq 100 had its best two-day rally since November. The S&P 500 gained 1.2%, extending its surge to 12% from an October low. At 6:10 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India’s benchmark Nifty 50, was up 0.45% to 18,227.5. Crude price rose above $88 per barrel. The Bitcoin traded around the $23,000-level. Domestic benchmark indices ended half a percent higher after a strong run through the day, buoyed by gains in IT, bank, auto and FMCG stocks. The rupee opened the week stronger against the U.S. dollar, moving above the 81-mark, but lost steam later in the day to close in the red.
