V.K., chief investment strategist at Geojit Financial Services. Vijayakumar says that global and domestic signals are positive for the market. Fall in dollar index to 105.3, improvement in US 10-year bond yield around 4.5 per cent and Brent crude falling below $84 will further strengthen the rally. The strong pillar of support for this market is strong buying by DIIs, which ensures a steady flow of funds.This trend is unlikely to change any time soon.

“Removal of restrictions on some products of Bajaj Finance by RBI is highly positive for the stock. There is a possibility of a rise in the stock due to short covering in the stock. There is scope for further growth in Bank Nifty. Delivery-based purchasing is likely to continue in this segment."
