Factors,
After worries about a global banking crisis subsided, investors increased their willingness to take risks, which resulted in gains in domestic markets for the third day in a row.
The benchmark index, the Nifty, increased by more than 250 points, or 1.6%, to a 50-day high of 17,356, while the S&P BSE Sensex increased by more than 900 points, or 1.6%, to 58,941.
After the conglomerate decided to separate its financial services unit from the conglomerate, index-heavyweight Reliance Industries saw its overall gains largely pared as shares rose more than 4% in intra-day deals.
In addition, the larger markets displayed strength as small-cap stocks outperformed frontline indices.
However, given that the markets will experience data-driven movements in the coming days, analysts remain cautious regarding the sustainability of this recent rally.
“In the past two days, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have become buyers because nifty valuations are now reasonable. The market is oversold and this could prompt short-covering and a strategic meeting in the close to term. However, given that FIIs will once more turn sellers at higher levels, a sustained A rally is unlikely. Coming days will see a ton of information or news driven market action. “The January-March results season (Q4FY23) beginning on April 13 and the RBI decision on interest rates on April 1 will trigger stock price movement,” stated Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
