Market Outlook Indian markets likely to open firm but stay volatile today after yesterday's 1.26% Sensex rally to 75,503 and 1.11% Nifty gain to 23,409, amid West Asia tensions limiting upside. Geopolitical risks and global uncertainty may cap gains, with Nifty support at 23,300/23,000 and resistance at 23,600. Global Cues US markets closed mixed Friday with S&P 500 down 0.61% at 6,632 amid oil crisis fears, but Asian indices like Nikkei (-1.16%) and Hang Seng (-1%) declined on yen weakness and oil surge; European markets higher today.
