Benchmark indices ended higher with Nifty50 trading above the 10,200- mark and Sensex up over 100 points ahead of October F&O expiry and Infosys results.
Infosys, the country's second-largest software services firm, is scheduled to report its September quarter numbers today post market hours. Analysts, at large, believe that more than the Q2 numbers, the management commentary will remain in focus as an update on the company's strategic preferences is crucial at this juncture.
The quarter holds significance as this will be the first result announcement after co-founder Nandan Nilekani took charge as the company's new non-executive chairman after the sudden resignation of then CEO Vishal Sikka and the exit of four board members, including then chairman R Seshasayee.
The global giant is also likely to name its next chief executive officer today. Finding a CEO was among the key tasks taken up by co-founder and Chairman Nandan Nilekani when he took charge in August.
Globally, Asian shares held within striking distance of recent decade highs on Tuesday even as Wall Street fell from record levels, while currencies kept to narrow ranges ahead of key economic events.
