Firming trends on other Asian markets too buoyed the trading sentiments here.

Investors' confidence got a booster after the government said the Dubai crisis should not have any major impact on factors like employment and exports.
Stock brokers said the impact of crisis on domestic bourses would be short-lived as the exposure of the India and Indian corporate to Dubai is not significant. Besides, fresh spell of capital inflows by foreign funds and selective buying by retail investors also influenced the trading sentiments, they said.
