After Market: Who moved my Sensex and key movers & shakers

Domestic equity market extended its rally for a second straight session on buying in index heavyweights amid inflows by foreign funds and strengthening rupee.

The BSE Sensex gained 196.62 points, or 0.56 per cent to 35,457.16, while the NSE Nifty index jumped 65.50 points, or 0.62 per cent, to 10,682.20.

“Market was rangebound with a positive bias amid strong rupee and inflow of foreign funds. Broadly, the second quarter earnings were tad below the expectation of 15 per cent YoY (Nifty50) and the market has largely factored a gradual downgrade in earnings in the second half of FY19. While investors are looking for major triggers for a decisive up move above 10,700 level, stability in rupee and oil prices will provide direction to the market despite election led uncertainty,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
