The Indian stock markets are expected to start the first trading session of the week on a positive note as the domestic and global cues look highly in favour of Bulls. SGX Nifty is trading 187.00 point higher.

European equities rose on Friday, snapping their longest losing streak in six months thanks to a rally in Swiss food firm Nestle and robust U.S. jobs data.
