Positive cues from other Asian markets too buoyed mood on Dalal Street.

The Sensex had settled 145.83 points lower at 35,352.61 in the previous session, while the Nifty had fallen 36.60 points to 10,604.35.

Investors also took cues from other Asian equities that were trading positive on hopes of a resolution to US-China trade tiff.
