Nifty futures were trading 80 points or 0.54 per cent higher at 14,975.50 on Singaporean Exchange on Friday, hinting at a gap-up start for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50. In the previous session, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies crossed the historic Rs 200 lakh crore mark for the first time, driven by Union Budget 2021 optimism.
