Sensex rises over 150 points, Nifty above 24,650 in pre-open session
Sensex Today: Benchmark indices opened slightly higher on Thursday amid weak global cues. The BSE Sensex was trading around 81,136, up 137 points or 0.17%, while the Nifty50 stood at 24,658, gaining 38 points or 0.15% in early session deals.
In broader markets, the Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indices rose 0.32% and 0.5%, respectively.

Global cues
Asia-Pacific markets showed a mixed performance on Thursday, weighed down by weak US private sector hiring data that raised concerns about trade policy uncertainty in the world's largest economy.
According to payroll firm ADP, US private sector employment increased by only 37,000 in May—the slowest pace in over two years and well below the expected 110,000 rise forecast by Dow Jones economists. April's payroll growth was also revised down to 60,000.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones dropped 0.22%, while the S&P 500 inched up 0.01%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.32%.
