Let’s look at the final tally on D-Street – the S&P BSE Sensex rose 533 points to 59,299 while the Nifty50 rose 159 points to 17,691.

Sectorally, buying was seen in metals, power, realty, and industrials while mild selling pressure was seen in industrials.

"After a week-long consolidation, the Indian market is back in action despite unfavourable global sentiments. The momentum is driven by the expectation of better Q2 earnings backed by recovery in economic activity, second wave fallout not being severe and in anticipation of a better outlook from festival demand,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said.

“The IT sector was under consolidation before the start of quarterly results, and RBI Monetary Policy Meeting is another key event that is being keenly watched by the market which is expecting no change instance,” he said.

On the broader market front – the S&P BSE Mid-cap index rose 1.5 per cent while the S&P BSE Small-cap index rose 1.7 per cent.

India VIX fell by 2.76 per cent from 17.21 to 16.73 levels. Overall spurt in the India VIX is giving a volatile swing but decline in volatility in the last few sessions may give some consolidation and support.

Technical experts are of the view that the Nifty50 should find near-term support near 17,600 whereas on the upside, the resistance level is placed at 17,800-17,900 levels.

Sentiments got some support with Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy’s (CMIE) report that employment increased by 8.5 million in September, led by the salaried jobs category, as the unemployment rate declined to 6.9% during the month.

In another positive development, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were stood as net buyers for the second month in a row in the Indian market with an investment of Rs 26,517 crore in September.

However, markets trimmed some of their gains as traders were worried as trade deficit spiked to almost $23 billion in September from $13.8 billion in the previous month, as imports surged at a much faster pace than exports, driven by elevated global crude oil prices and purchases of gold in the build-up to the festival season.
