"Equity benchmarks started off the day's trade on a slightly negative note but recovered immediately due to strong buying support. CNX Nifty extended gains in the morning, as it reclaimed the 9,200 points level, despite weak global cues," Dhruv Desai, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tradebulls told IANS.
"However, depreciation in the Indian rupee against US dollar has pressurised investors' sentiments at higher levels."
