funding the government until Mar 23.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 went up 0.87%

Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small-Cap rose 1.31% and 1.60%, respectively.

Manufacturers, domestic passenger vehicle sales were up 7.57% to

U.S. market after getting approval from the U.S. health regulator. The

• Asian markets moved up after taking positive cues from overnight U.S.

infrastructure plan. Sentiments also got support after the People's Bank
of China mentioned that the Chinese banks lent a record amount of new
yuan loans in Jan 2018. Today (As of Feb 14), Asian markets opened
mixed. Gains in Wall Street’s last session boosted the indices. However,

looked ahead to the consumer prices and retail sales data scheduled on
