Domestic equities closed positively for the third consecutive day on Tuesday led by optimistic domestic cues, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
Services PMI data came in strong at 60.1 for the month of August, boosting sentiments. Despite weak global markets, Nifty opened positive and traded in a narrow range to finally close with gains of 46 points (+0.2 per cent) at 19,575 levels, while the S&P BSE Sensex advanced 150 points to close at 65,780.
Broader market outperformed with Mid-cap 100 and Small-cap 100 up 1.1 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively, he said.
Except for auto and financials, all sectors gave positive return with media rallying more than 3 per cent, while healthcare gained 1.6 per cent.
Going forward, market would continue trading in a broader range with positive bias as resilient domestic economy provides strength, amidst uncertain global cues, he added.
