While Midcap & Smallcap index outperformed gained 1.8% and 2% respectively. Markets gained on optimism in the global markets with US stimulus measures and developments in Brexit deal and improvement in industrial output in October. The momentum is expected to continue in the coming week, US is likely to announce stimulus package and further progress on the vaccine front and consistent FII inflow will fuel into market. Markets are expecting positive news on the vaccine front in India, three companies – Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech and Pfizer have already applied for emergency use authorisation for their vaccines. India crossed 1 crore infections but daily infections count trend has been declining with strong recovery rate and lower active cases recovery rate further improved to 95.40% which continued to support the sentiment of the equity market. The FII money seems to be unstoppable as they poured in around Rs 40,000 crore in Indian equities in December so far, which has been acting as a key role in taking the market to record high levels.
