Markets started the week on a positive note, with the Nifty closing up 0.6% at 22,556 after four consecutive declining sessions. Analysts say Indian equities are likely to see some relief after an eight-week losing run that cost the Nifty 8.8%, the longest such streak in since 2020. The correction has left valuations at comfortable levels, with Q2 business updates triggering stock-specific buying, banks and financials making a solid start to the reporting season, while monthly auto sales data has added to the improving tone.
