Indian shares are likely to open on a cautious note as the global cues look mixed with SGX Nifty trading 20.00 points lower.

The S&P BSE Sensex and CNX Nifty ended 1.00% and 0.85% higher each.

On Tuesday (January 27, 2014), the S&P BSE Sensex ended up 292 points at 29,571 and the 50-share Nifty gained 75 points to end above 8,900 for the first-time ever at 8,910.
