Benchmark indices advanced on Tuesday amid a firm trend in Asian markets. The BSE barometer, the Sensex was trading 80 points or 0.3% higher at 20,414.36 points, while the NSE's Nifty was trading 17.15 points or 0.28% higher at 6,070.60 points at 10.45 am IST.Experts expect markets to trade within a narrow range. “Nifty may trade within a range of 6000 – 6150 in near term. Selling pressure may increase, if Nifty breaks 6000 and close below support level,” Standard Chartered analysts said in a research note. “The trend in investment by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and the data on industrial production for December 2013 which will be out on Wednesday will dictate the near-term movement,” the note added.
