Nifty nears 5800; DLF, M&M, Dr Reddy’s, HDFC gain

MUMBAI: Indian markets extended gains for seventh straight session taking cues from positive global peers. All the sectoral indices were in the green with realty, healthcare and metals stocks leading the upmove.

"The start today will be good, spurred by encouraging global cues. India Inc. may suffer a bit in terms of productivity but there is unlikely to be any material impact on market volumes. What could have a bearing is the last minute year-end rebalancing and F&O related gyrations.

The undertone has turned around in the past few sessions. The key indices have surpassed the crucial 200-DMA levels, propelled by renewed pick-up in FII inflows. After being pessimistic on India in the first two months, they have resumed their bets in March. One has to see whether the trend persists in April or not," said IIFL report.
