Indian benchmark indices — Sensex and Nifty — are likely to open marginally higher in the trading session of October 31, following an overnight rise in equities on Wall Street. Asian markets, meanwhile, were subdued ahead of the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) policy decision.

India's GIFT Nifty was down 0.05% at 19,216 as of 7:32 a.m. IST, but still above the Nifty 50's Monday close of 19,140.90.

Wall Street equities gained over a percent each overnight, ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy meeting and US monthly jobs data due later this week. Asian markets were muted amid expectations that the BOJ will raise its inflation forecasts and tweak its bond yield control in a higher-for-longer global interest rate scenario.

For the domestic market, it seems the market may continue the momentum that it had over the trading session on October 27. In the previous trading session, the Indian market started off lower due to global jitters but recovered all losses led by Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank, among others.
