Although there was a sense of cheer and enthusiasm which kept the market in good stead and the volume too was encouraging. From the market beaviour it emerged that the market is all set to scale new peaks in the near future. 
Strong global cues, positive global markets, approval of Banking Amendment Bill by Lok Sabha and hope of a repo rate cut in January boosted market sentiment and there was buying in all sectors. Number of positive signals from the Union Government as far as reform is concerned will definitely see the market go up in days to come.
