On Monday, at close, BSE Sensex was trading 327.05 points up at 61,167.79 and NSE Nifty was trading 92.15 points up at 18,197.45.

“Markets gained confidence in the afternoon trades after European indices advanced sharply in their early trades. Local traders lapped up metals, realty and banking shares, which had faced relentless selling in the last week’s sell-off. However, markets may face strong bouts of volatility as investors brace for earnings season and the upcoming Union Budget. Technically, the Nifty is consolidating between 18050 and 18250 levels. For the bulls 18250 would be the fresh breakout level to watch out for, and above the same it could move up to 18350-18400. On the flip side, below 18100, there is a strong possibility of a quick intraday correction. Below the same, the index could slip till 18050-18000”, said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd.
