“Our market started the session with a decent bump up on Monday, carrying last week’s strong optimism. Globally, things continued on a brighter side, providing the much-needed impetus to the rally across the globe. As the week progressed, we extended our gains towards another psychological junction of 17,500.

“We did observe some profit booking at higher levels, and on Thursday, the profit booking was severe at one point. But fortunately, all these intraday declines were successfully getting bought into. Eventually, the benchmark index ended the session at 17400 by adding more than a per cent to the previous week’s close.”
