Indian equity benchmarks closed with healthy gains on September 13, on hopes of fresh stimulus from the government amid positive global cues.
In a bid to arrest the current economic slowdown, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on September 14 announced further relief measures with a focus on reviving the housing and export sectors.
In her previous two press conferences, FM Sitharaman had taken stock of the slowdown in the auto sector, the cash strapped non-bank financial companies (NBFCs), and had also announced the mega-bank merger along with upfront recapitalisation.
After range-bound trade for most part of the day, markets recovered sharply in the late afternoon session and gained nearly a percent amid volatility on September 13.
Sensex closed the day at 37,384.99, up 281 points, or 0.76 percent, with 25 stocks in the green and five -- Bharti Airtel, Sun Pharma, HDFC Bank, ITC and Hindustan Unilever -- in the red.
The Nifty index closed 93 points, or 0.85 percent, higher at 11,075.90, with 41 stocks up and 9 down.
BSE Midcap (up 0.41 percent) underperformed Sensex whereas BSE Smallcap (up 0.82 percent) outperformed the equity benchmark.
Among the sectoral indices on BSE, only BSE Telecom and BSE Healthcare settled with losses, falling 0.53 percent and 0.38 percent, respectively.
The breadth of the market remained in the favour of gainers as 1,513 stocks logged gains against 960 that suffered losses on BSE.
On a weekly basis, both Sensex and Nifty advanced by over a percent.
Analysts say the market is expected to undergo profit booking from the current levels and any upmove could be a bull trap as it is unlikely that bourses will move substantially higher in the short term.
"Even though there has been incremental fresh long open interest build-up, the velocity is still subdued in the stock movement which means that at higher levels bears are selling in the markets. But when the tide in the markets turn the fall will be with greater force. Financial services, private and public banks, infrastructure, commodities are all sectors to be
avoided for longs for now as they may face selling pressure at higher levels," said Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO of SAMCO Securities & StockNote.
