On today's market, Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services noted that Nifty PSU Bank emerged as the top gainer, rising 2.6%, as PSU stocks saw renewed buying interest after the Finance Minister urged public sector banks to utilise the RBI’s 50 bps rate cut to increase lending to productive sectors. "Sentiment was further supported by SEBI’s approval of simplified delisting rules for PSUs with over 90% government ownership, making exit processes smoother," he added. Looking ahead, Khemka said that investors will closely monitor comments from the US Fed Chair for further cues. "Markets are likely to remain firm, supported by strong institutional flows and policy support. Attention will also shift to Q1 business updates, which are expected to begin this week. Tractor companies like M&M and Escorts may be in focus ahead of monthly Auto Sales data, aided by a strong start to the monsoon season," he said.
