Commenting on the day’s action, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said the domestic market maintained a positive trajectory, despite some volatility stemming from mixed sentiments in Asian markets due to the situation in South Korea, adding that the broader indices showed strong performance, with the banking and financial sectors continuing to excel.
“Conversely, auto stocks were impacted by mixed November sales results. The upcoming speech by the Fed Chair could sway market sentiments, as recent Fed minutes have shown confidence in the easing of inflation.
