Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking says that markets traded upbeat for yet another session and gained over a percent, driven by positive global cues and more announcements on the stimulus package. The bulls were in control from the beginning and mostly sectoral indices participated in the move. As a result, Nifty comfortably settled above 13,500 levels. The broader indices too showed decent traction and gained in the range of 0.4-0.5%. Among the sectoral indices, banking and energy were among the top contributors.

Markets are largely mirroring global cues but the benchmark looks slightly overbought so the possibility of consolidation in the near term cannot be ruled out and it would be healthy for markets. We thus recommend booking partial profit in the existing trades and keep trailing stop losses on every rise. For fresh buying, investors should maintain extra caution on the selection of stocks and maintain a “buy on dips” approach.
