    What affected the Indian markets?

  • A sharp rise in daily COVID-19 cases in India has raised apprehensions about the sustainability of the ongoing rebound in corporate earnings, Binod Modi, Head Strategy at Reliance Securities, noted.

    He further added that the mounting concerns of possible fresh economic restrictions made enthusiasm of dovish commentary from the Federal Reserve short-lived for domestic markets.
