“This weeks’s rally has been quite healthy and we are now about 30 percent up from the lowest level but one needs to be cautious and not get carried away,” said Jagannadham Thunguntula, equity head at SMC Capitals. “Whenever markets recover, people tend to enter in a big way thinking that the uptrend has begun, but that is not the case always,” Thunguntula added.

Mumbai, April 3 (IANS) Bulls, backed by strong global bourses, continued to have an upper
hand at the Indian equities markets for the fourth consecutive trading week ending Thursday,
with a key index gaining about 3 percent from its previous weekly close.
Markets remained closed Friday on account of Ram Navami.
The 30-share sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) ended Thursday at

“This weeks’s rally has been quite healthy and we are now about 30 percent up from the lowest
level but one needs to be cautious and not get carried away,” said Jagannadham Thunguntula,
equity head at SMC Capitals.
“Whenever markets recover, people tend to enter in a big way thinking that the uptrend has
begun, but that is not the case always,” Thunguntula added.
Markets started the week on a negative note aping their global peers, with the Sensex falling
480.35 points or 4.78 percent at 9,568.14 points.
The Nifty did no better and lost 4.2 percent from its last close to shut shop at 2,978.15 points.

percent to end trade at 3,065.45 points.
Thursday was another good day for the bulls as the Sensex soared 4.51 percent.
Throughout the week, global bourses acted as a prop for its Indian peers as government heads
across the world converged at the G20 summit in London to take significant steps to boost
demand.
Data with market watchdog Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for the week ending
Thursday showed foreign funds were net sellers, shedding scrips worth $255.8 million.
“This might not be a breakout, one needs to be cautious,” said Thunguntula.
