Indian stock markets had an optimistic week with the benchmark indices rising on each of the 5 days to end the week with gains of over 1.7%. While much of the optimism still came from the falling covid-19 cases and increasing pace of vaccinations, global markets also played a role in market optimism.
Strong global cues coupled with US President Joe Biden’s proposal for a further $6 trillion stimulus package in the United States gave a boost to Indian markets. A stimulus package in the US will mean that some of the money will inevitably find its way to the Indian markets that might cause markets to rise.
