Buying interest is seen in Nifty media and realty indices which have advanced 2 per cent and 1.5 per cent respectively. The Nifty IT index marginally trades in red.

The Nifty July month contract started the session with a gap-up open at 11,550. After marking an intra-day low at 11,528 the contract continued to trend upwards and has recorded an intra-day high at 11,583 levels. The near-term stance remains positive as long as the contract trades above 11,530 levels.
