Market shows tremendous strength
The market will react to exit polls in early trade on Monday and that could set the tone for the rest of the day as well.
The domestic market extended gains for a second session on Friday with the Sensex and Nifty rising ahead of exit poll results on Sunday.
The Sensex surged 537 points or 1.44 per cent to closed at 37,931 while the Nifty ended at 11,407, up 150 points or 1.33 per cent.
Strong buying was seen in private bank, financial, auto and realty stocks, but IT, pharmaceutical and metal stocks witnessed selling.
Despite volatility, the domestic market ended this week on a positive note led by short covering and strong inflows from DIIs.
Weak results from Auto sector and NPA issues in PSU banks led to weakness in auto & PSU indices. But the market reversed from the oversold level, supported by few green shoots in earnings, rise in beaten down blue chips and mutual funds buying.

The market will react to exit polls in early trade on Monday and that could set the tone for the rest of the day as well. Besides, the prevailing negotiations between the US and China would also be on the traders' radar. In short, we expect volatility to inch higher. Traders should prefer hedged trades and avoid overtrading.
"Indian markets have shown tremendous strength one day before the long-awaited exit polls, despite the ongoing ambiguity in US-China trade talks. With the last phase of elections scheduled for Sunday, the all-round buying across the sectors reflects market's anticipation that exit polls may indicate the formation of a stable government," said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Sr. VP and Head of Research (Wealth), Centrum Broking.
"Despite the global volatility, the domestic market extended the surge due to continued accumulation in blue chips by domestic investors and short covering ahead of exit poll on Sunday “, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial.
