  • Details

    Reliance Industries gained due to SEBI nod

  • As per Business Standard, Reliance Industries traded 1% above when markets opened.

    This was driven by the green signal given by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to Future Group's "scheme of arrangement and sale of assets" to the company. The deal is reportedly worth Rs. 24,713 crore. The BSE had also given its "no adverse observation" report.

  • Joseph Thomas, Head Of Research at Emkay Wealth Management, said coronavirus vaccines and the change in leadership in the United States could have been the reasons for the surge.

    "As the Sensex crosses the 50K, the valuations do look stretched. The valuations are a function of earnings and earnings not coming through remains the key risk at the current juncture," he added.

  • Statement

    'We are at a cusp of a new economy cycle'

  • Separately, Gaurav Dua, Head Capital Market Strategy and Investments, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, opined that a new dawn is here.
