The strength spilled across broader markets too, as Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 surged up to 0.6 per cent.

While Bajaj Finserv, SBI, Infosys, Wipro, Titan, HDFC Bank were the top contributors to the benchmark indices; weakness in HCL Technologies, Asian Paints, Maruti Suzuki, Cipla, Sun Pharma capped the upside.

All sectors opened on a cheerful note with Nifty Media and Nifty Bank indices leading the pack.

Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said: “While Nifty has persisted with the upside trajectory on anticipated lines, trading ranges narrowed yesterday urging caution. Inability to further gains after entering the 18,040-160 band could call for buyers withdrawing at least until 17,860.”
