Except pharma, all sectoral indices ended in the green with media, PSU Bank, FMCG, Metal, Oil & Gas up 1-2 percent each.

The BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices were up 0.5 percent each.

“Markets edged higher and gained nearly half a percent in continuation of the prevailing trend. After the initial gap-up move, the Nifty remained range bound for most of the session and finally settled at 22,753.80 levels. The majority of sectors were aligned with the move where FMCG, metal and energy were among the top gainers. The broader indices also edged higher after two days of pause and gained in the range of 0.7-0.9 percent,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Research at Religare Broking.

“Rotational buying across sectors combined with stability at the global front is helping the index to inch higher every passing day. We are eyeing the 22,850-23,100 zone in the Nifty ahead and expect the 22,350-22,500 zone to act as a strong support in case of any profit-taking. The beginning of the earnings season would trigger stock-specific volatility ahead, so participants should plan their positions accordingly,” he said.
