“The market saw a relief rally post a 3-month low; a positive global cue and a gradual return of FIIs supported the sentiment. Investors are positively assessing the upcoming U.S.-Russia Summit this week, which may possibly give way to a de-escalation in geopolitical tensions.

“While a near-term caution may still prevail, the more definite assessment of the U.S. trade and growth impact is yet to be assessed fully,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd., said.

Among Sensex firms, Tata Motors, Eternal, Trent, State Bank of India, UltraTech Cement and Larsen & Toubro were the major gainers.

However, Bharat Electronics, Bharti Airtel and Maruti were the laggards.
