Here are the stock market Live updates:
Sensex rises 251 points or 0.42 per cent to trade at 60,044, Nifty moves 85 points or 0.48 per cent higher to trade at 17,919
"Last Friday’s rejection trades on approach to 17,900 revives collapse fears, having fallen about 4.5 per cent, the last time Nifty rose above 17,900, on August 19. But the main difference this time is that last Friday’s dip was accompanied by decline in VIX, as opposed to a rise in VIX on August 19. This encourages us to look for 18,160-18,600 in the near term. Alternatively, inability to float above 17,750, will negate our bullish bias, and revisit chances of 17,000-16,650, should 17,450 give away as well," said Anand James - Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
The benchmark BSE Sensex had climbed 105 points or 0.18 per cent to close at 59,793 pn Friday, while broader NSE Nifty had moved 35 points or 0.19 per cent higher to settle at 17,833.
