Indian benchmark indices demonstrated robust performance on Monday, with significant gains driven by BFSI and IT sectors, alongside support from other segments.
Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President – Research at Religare Broking, noted that the market’s renewed strength stemmed from FII buying in the cash market and their short-covering in derivatives. “On the technical front, Nifty has reclaimed its 200-day DEMA, reinforcing the positive sentiment. With strong buying interest across sectors, the prevailing momentum is likely to sustain. Traders should align their positions accordingly, with a keen focus on stock selection,” Mishra said.
