I had mentioned in Monday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were trending lower and market would witness increased volatility. Indian shares on Tuesday bounced back from six-month lows hit in the previous session, led by IT (information technology) and auto stocks, with sentiment turning positive as Asian shares rallied after all three major U.S. stock indexes hit record highs. Equity benchmarks consolidated in afternoon trade with the Nifty hovering around 7,950 level after reclaiming 8,000 level in early trade. Markets made an attempt to regain the crucial psychological level of 8,000 today and closed just 2 points above at 8,002.30. The major indices of the Indian stock markets ended positive on Tuesday.

Investors betting that Donald Trump will roll back regulations and taxes while pumping money into infrastructure projects drove the Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization stocks to a record with its 12th straight session of gains, its longest winning streak since June 2003. The index has risen 11% since Election Day, outpacing the S&P 500’s 2.7% climb.

The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite climbed to a trifecta of records Monday as stocks extended their postelection rally. Investors have piled into banks, health-care stocks and industrials on bets that President-elect Donald Trump would loosen regulation and boost infrastructure spending. At the same time, they have pulled back from Treasury’s and their stock-market proxies, which are less attractive to investors when interest rates rise. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Asian shares were lifted as crude prices touched their highest for the month after comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the odds of a freeze in oil production.
