The first day of the week was also a record-breaking one for the market. The major index, Nifty, is now only 70 points away from 26,000. On Tuesday, Nifty crossed this level. On August 1, Nifty crossed 25,000 for the first time. In the last 8 sessions, Nifty has shown a movement of about 1,000 points. On September 11, this index closed at the level of 24,918. Since then, the index has seen a movement of 1,000 points.
The most important thing about Monday's rise is that buying has returned in beaten sectors like the PSU Bank index. This is the first time since June 3 that such a big rise has been seen in this index. Except for the IT sector, most sectors remained bullish yesterday. Buying has also returned in some government companies. Today is the expiry of the September series of the Nifty Financial Services Index. Banking stocks will also be in focus.
