The consumer price index (CPI) data came in above consensus but a closer look showed that much of the price surge was from items such as commodities and airfares, and is therefore likely to be temporary.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.06%, the S&P 500 gained 0.47% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.78%.
Tracking a firm finish for US stocks, Asian markets too opened higher. Japan's Nikkei was up 0.16%, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.2%, South Korea’s Kospi index added 0.5% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index climbed 0.6%.
Boosted by a firm global setup, Indian markets eye a strong start to the day today. Furthermore, a fall in the number of Covid cases in the country is also keeping the sentiment on D-Street upbeat.
At 7.40 am, SGX Nifty was trading 36 points higher at 15,810.
On the Covid front, fresh daily cases remained below the 1 lakh mark for the fourth day straight as India reported 91,000 cases in the last 24 hours. The steady decline in cases is igniting hopes of the further reopening of the economy, providing support to market mood.
Meanwhile, on the macro front, manufacturing and Industrial production data for the month of April are set to be released today post market hours.
