“Some brokers have emerged with rowing (in Indian equity) and foreign investors have consistently withdraw money from the market.
This might have worked on the minds of retail traders for some time,” Anand James, Head of Market Strategy in Financial Services Geojit told the Office Reuters news.
“A softer dollar, cooling the price of oil and easing of US Treasury results has provided a comfort for the market,” James said, adding a series of new derivations to see a number of purchases.
