Market may open flat to slightly higher:
``The market may open flat to slightly higher on firm Asian stocks. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a gain of 5 points at the opening bell,`` said Swastika Investmart.
``The market is likely to open flat with a negative bias taking cues from global markets. Asian stocks rose, extending the biggest weekly advance of a regional index in four years, as Italy took steps to resolve its debt problems before European Union leaders meet this week to tackle the region`s crisis. US stocks ended flat on Friday but capped the best week for Wall Street bulls in almost three years after data showed the US unemployment rate dropped to a 2-1/2 year low,`` said SMC Global Research.
