Asian markets on the run, D-Street to extend the rally

Indian stocks are likely to extend the four day rally on Tuesday on positive global cues and overnight gains in the US market. Wall Street stocks posted strong gains of roughly 1% during 2011's first trading session as promising manufacturing and construction data bolstered confidence in the U.S. economy's recovery prospects. Stocks are expected to rally in January, potentially marking 2011 as the year investors returned in number to the equities market.

Asian Markets are trading in the green on Tuesday.
