Market will open on a positive note today continuing yesterday's rally of the last hour.

Asian markets are showing divergent trends at the start of the mid-week trade despite a record close for U.S. equities.

The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Tuesday, rebounding from huge losses triggered by the coronavirus pandemic and crowning one of the most dramatic recoveries in the index’s history.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 66.84 points, or 0.24%, to 27,778.07, the S&P 500 gained 7.79 points, or 0.23%, to 3,389.78 and the Nasdaq Composite added 81.12 points, or 0.73%, to 11,210.84.

The US dollar fell against a basket of major currencies for a fifth consecutive trading day on Tuesday which kept strength intact for gold.
