The Sensex and Nifty opened the session marginally in the green on buying by funds and retail investors in select stocks amid positive global cues.
At 9.15 a.m., the 30-share BSE index Sensex was up 35.71 points (0.17 per cent) at 20,900.68 and the 50-share NSE index Nifty was up 9.95 points (0.16 per cent) at 6,212.75.
Asia’s benchmark stock index headed for the highest close in five years and emerging market currencies rose on speculation that the US Federal Reserve could put off its $85 billion-a-month tapering programme till March as US employers added few workers than projected.
The US jobs data released on Tuesday night showed signs of slackening growth, though 1,48,000 non-farm jobs were added last month.
