Nifty trades above 10,150 mark; Banking, Metal stocks up
Benchmark share indices held on their gains helped by a sharply higher opening in European markets, that signaled a revival in investor sentiment as fears of a global trade war eased.
Gains in shares of public-sector banks and metal stocks also supported domestic indices. The Nifty PSU Bank index was up over 2.5% and was the top gainer among sectoral indices, while the Nifty Metal index rose 1.5%.
However, caution ahead of expiry of the March derivatives series on Wednesday and a holiday-truncated week limited gains.
