Sensex, Nifty set for positive start supported by global cues; HCC, Lemon Tree Hotels in focus

The Indian market is set for a positive start on Friday as its global peers extended massive gains from the previous session.

However, Indian investors remained cautious after government data suggested that the fiscal deficit touched 114.8 percent of the full-year target of Rs 6.24 lakh crore at the end of November on account of lower revenue collections.

At 07:23 AM, SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50's trend in India, was up 0.57 percent at 10,871, indicating a positive opening for the Indian market.
