"It was an exceptional day for the equity markets as Nifty reclaimed 11,000 and gained over half a percent. The latest World Bank's report stated that India has become the world's sixth largest economy surpassing France, triggered upbeat start which further strengthened with favorable cues from global counterparts. Amid all, sectoral indices traded mixed wherein Energy topped the gainers list but pressure on broader front turned the market breadth negative," said Jayant Manglik, President, Religare Broking.

"Things have started falling in place with upbeat start of the earnings season however global negatives i.e. trade war scenario and crude oil price may continue to cause trouble in between. While almost the sectoral indices are contributing to the rally, PSU banks, metal and media are still reeling pressure. We reiterate our "buy on dips" advice on Nifty and suggest focusing more on stock selection," he added.
