According to Likhita Chepa, Senior Research Analsyst at CapitalVia Global Research: "Indian benchmark indices started with a gap up after the positivity in global sentiments. Sentiments got the boost as GST collection recovered to a three-month high in July, exceeding Rs 1.1 trillion, as economic activity resumed. Technical indicators also support positivity in the market."
"If the Delta variant of the corona virus is kept in control, we can expect the economic activities getting back to pre-covid levels very soon."-IANS
