Morning Market Outlook

* The market is expected to open on a positive note due to a rally in global markets, following slowerthan-expected US inflation, which dropped to a 4-month low of 2.8%, and core inflation fell to a 4-year low of 0.2%.

* This has reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates later this year. Additionally, domestic inflation for February cooled to a 7-month low of 3.61%, well below the RBI's projection of 4%.

* Global rating agency's Mood’s upgrade for India GDP forecast to 6.5% from 6.3%, is likely to boost market sentiment.

* Globally, the US Nasdaq Composite Index gained 1.2% overnight, while the Dow Jones Index ended slightly lower. In Asia, markets rose up to 1%, driven by expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in its April meeting.

* Strong domestic economic growth and falling oil prices should further boost sentiment. Positive on Banks, Real estate, NBFC and Sugar stocks.
