Momentum accelerated in the 2nd half of the trading session which pushed the Index higher to end the day at 12,938.25 with gains of 64.05 points. Auto and Banking indices ended the day with strong gains while weakness remained in FMCG and IT stocks.
Markets managed to inch higher amid volatility, in continuation of the prevailing uptrend.

Consequently, the Nifty ended with gains of 0.5% at 12,938 levels. The broader markets outperformed and ended higher in the range of 0.9-1.2%.
