Advisable To Book Profits Partially At Current Market Levels: Motilal Oswal

Equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty rallied to fresh lifetime highs on Tuesday following broad-based buying interest amid persistent foreign capital inflows. Progress on a COVID-19 vaccine also spurred hopes for a faster economic recovery, leading to positive sentiment for equities. The Sensex rose as much as 495 points to an all-time high of 44,571.96 and Nifty 50 index surged to record high of 13,079. Banking shares led the rally in Tuesday’s session as the index of banking shares on the National Stock Exchange – Nifty Bank index -rose over 600 points.

On the vaccine front, AstraZeneca’s encouraging interim results for its COVID-19 shot were followed on Monday by manufacturer Serum Institute’s announcement that it would focus first on supplies to India, raising hopes that the vaccine could become available quickly in the world’s second worst-hit country.

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service.
