"The RIL numbers will decide the market trend. If the result beats the market expectations, the Sensex may touch new heights. Also, the stock has not participated in the recent rally, so now the results will decide its direction in the short-term," SMC Global Vice President Rajesh Jain said.
Meanwhile, the market index Sensex was trading up 0.11 per cent at 18,040.68 points.
RIL, which carries the maximum weight on the 30-share benchmark Sensex, was the major contributor to the overall market gains. Also, the stock was among the volume toppers in morning trade.
