GLOBAL INDICES

The European markets rose to their highest closing level in nearly six months on Monday (October 18, 2010), with banks boosted by upbeat results from US lender Citigroup, while oil majors drew support from a rally in crude prices.

The US markets advanced on Monday as stronger-than-expected profit from Citigroup helped financial shares shake off worries that the foreclosure mess could threaten the stability of the housing market.

The major Asian markets were trading higher except Kospi and Shanghai Composite indices, following the overnight Wall Street gains. SGX Nifty was trading 16.5 points higher, suggesting towards a positive start on the Indian bourses.

Commodity cues
Crude oil prices rose above $83 a barrel on Monday, the biggest percentage gain in two weeks, as a strike in France tightened fuel supplies, as the crude oil futures for November delivery rose by $2.25, to settle at $83.08 a barrel.
