The managing editor said that the markets in the last half an hour witnessed a buying sentiment on the back of short covering ahead of the monthly expiry tomorrow. Another trigger that led the indices to close in the green was Dow Futures, which was in the green around market close, he added.

The Nifty Bank saw a gap-up opening and didn’t breach the support level of 38,500 and sustained around the support level across the session today, Singhvi said, adding that a buying sentiment was also seen in the banking index half an hour before close eventually to settle above 39,000.

Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking expects volatility to remain high due to the scheduled derivatives expiry of August month contracts. Besides, the caution ahead of the Jackson Hole symposium will continue to weigh on sentiment, he added.

Amid all, the analyst at Religare Broking recommended continuing with a stock-specific approach and focusing more on overnight risk management.
