Pharmaceuticals 


Pharma shares had strong indications of buying traction in the marketplace for now five consecutive trading sessions. The gainers of this rally include Natco Pharma and Divis Labs. 


Banking


The banking sector showed mixed skews, with a chunk of private banks suffering selling blues; however, a hefty buy stood for IndusInd Bank on being one of the top gainers.


FMCG


The marketplace was draggy under the FMCG banner through poor results by heavyweights in this sector. 


Market Outlook


As per market analysts, the Indian stock markets should remain strong as long as FII inflow is continuous and corporate earnings remain productive, along with reduced global uncertainties. However, on the flip side, an investor should be cautious at least in terms of continuity with such fluctuations on account of any global economic developments or domestic reasons.
