Mid Market Commentary

The market has managed its opening rally and gained further grounds on the back of strong buying seeing in the IT, Capital Goods, Bank, Metal and Oil & Gas stocks. The IT stocks are in demand today on the back of the latest move by the government to tighten external commercial borrowings (ECB), which is likely to put check on the foreign currency inflows. The overall market breadth is strong as 1970 stocks are advancing while 517 stocks are declining and 57 stocks remained unchanged on BSE.
