Markets are performing well around the globe even despite a few bad news. The banking stocks in India could continue their momentum. One interesting thing to note is that the Nifty rally that we got last week was not supported by Reliance. Reliance was consolidating near 2100. So, if banks continue to grow and Reliance shoots up, we can see NIFTY reaching fresh highs very soon.
