Mumbai: The 30-share bellwether BSE Sensex on Monday was trading nearly 40 points higher after India’s finance minister P. Chidambaram started to present the interim budget

 At 11.10am, the Sensex was trading up 0.21%, or 42.73 points, at 20,409.55 points, while the National Stock Exchange’s (NSE) broader 50-share Nifty was trading higher by 0.17%, or 10.30 points, at 6,058.65 points

Asian markets were trading higher following firm global cues, although Japan’s quarterly gross domestic products (GDP) growth disappointed. Japan’s growth rate came in far below expectations, with economic output rising at a slow pace of 0.3% in the three months ending December. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average was up 0.48%, China’s Shanghai Composite gained 0.69%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was up 0.98%.
