Indian equity benchmarks may see gap up opening on Thursday, tracking firm cues from Asian peers as the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) agreed to cut crude oil production which is likely to reverberate in markets around the world. The investors will also react to India’s GDP and core sector industries which notched up solid growth in July-September quarter. The economy expanded 7.3 per cent in the July-September quarter, higher than the 7.1 per cent in the previous one, data from the Central Statistics Office showed on Wednesday. Solid gains in the SGX Nifty Index Futures for December delivery which were trading at 8,260.50, up by 20.50 points or 0.25 per cent, at 11:00 AM Singapore time, signal that the Sensex may open higher today.
