Meanwhile, the local stocks opened higher on hopes of robust quarterly earnings amid positive global markets.

Also, the holiday truncated week ahead of Diwali - the festival of lights, is expected to provide impetus for market participation. The local debt opened higher after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley refuted that he made any comments on fiscal stimulus amid moderation in US Treasury yields.
