Benchmarks ended the Monday’s trade on an optimistic note for a third straight session taking cues from their Asian counterparts. The market breadth was in favour of advances with 3 stocks advancing against two declining ones. Moreover, gains in Asian and European equities boosted sentiment. Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s speech on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump tweeted that China would remove trade barriers as that would be the “right thing to do”.

Investors will now focus on fourth-quarter earnings season, which will begin on Friday with Infosys.

Among sectoral indices, the Nifty FMCG index ended 1.13 percent up led by a rise in the shares of Marico and ITC.
