Asian markets trade higher:
Asian stocks rose on Monday, as signs of progress in US-China trade talks and firmer Wall Street shares supported sentiment, although another defeat for British Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposed Brexit deal added to the pound’s recent woes.
SGX Nifty:
Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a positive opening for the broader indices in India, a gain of 48.50 points or 0.42 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 11,724-level on the Singaporean Exchange.
S&P 500 index posted its best quarterly gain since 2009, boosted by optimism over the latest round of trade talks between the United States and China.

Crude Update:
Oil prices rose on Monday, adding to gains in the first quarter when the major benchmarks posted their biggest increases in nearly a decade, as concerns about supplies outweigh fears of a slowing global economy.
Domestic Markets :
What a week for Indian markets! Nifty rallied 1.4 percent and is now less than 2 percent away from record high while Sensex added 508 points or 1.33 percent in the same period.
Among sectors, Nifty Bank rallied 2.8 percent during the previous week, followed by Nifty Energy and Metal which gained 2 percent each. The broader markets outpaced frontline indices as Nifty Midcap index climbed 2.9 percent.
Macro data is something that will dictate the trend for Indian markets and the possibility of record highs remains strong in the first week of the new financial year.

Apart from strong FII flows expectations of a stable government at the centre, rise in rupee against the US dollar, as well as hopes of a rate cut in April policy meeting, lifted sentiment.

Technical View:
Nifty formed a bullish candle on weekly as well as monthly charts
The index gained for the sixth consecutive week, rising 1.5 percent and closed the March month with the decent gains of 7.70 percent after its consolidation breakout of last five months.
Friday's price action can be read as a cautious sign but as it is not backed by any sell signals on lower time frame charts, things still look advantageous for bulls, suggest experts.
As long as index sustains above 11,531 (5-days EMA) and 11,600, bulls should be able to touch 11,760.
Three levels: 11530, 11600, 11760
