In early trade, 1,783 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 202 were trading in the red. 77 stocks remained unchanged.
The bull run in the last week has made markets investors richer by Rs 27.10 lakh crore as the BSE benchmark Sensex surged nearly 6 per cent during this period.
“The 5.6 per cent rally in the Nifty from the recent lows has been driven by a combination of factors like FIIs turning buyers (Rs 13765 crores in the last three days), the consequent short-covering and improving macros of the Indian economy. The surge in mid and smallcaps has brought the retail investors aggressively back into the market,” said Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
