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

Asian stocks rose Thursday after progress on the U.S. debt-ceiling impasse lifted equities on Wall Street. Shares advanced in Japan, Australia and South Korea, while U.S. futures also climbed. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 erased losses of more than 1% to close with gains on a possible deal to boost the debt ceiling into December. That would alleviate the immediate risk of a default but leave the political fight simmering in Washington. The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India’s Nifty 50 Index’s performance, rose 0.79%, to 17,767.00, as of 8:00 a.m.
