Here are the top six triggers that fuelled the rally:

The US-China trade deal hopes :The hopes of a trade deal between the world’s two largest economies gave a leg up to the market sentiment.

As per Reuters, on Saturday, US national security adviser Robert O’Brien said an initial trade agreement with China is still possible by the end of the year, though he warned Washington would not turn a blind eye to what happens in Hong Kong.

Media reports suggested that China has agreed to raise penalties on violations of intellectual property rights to address one of the sticking points in trade talks with the US.

Short-covering before F&O expiry:Experts suspect the rally in the market could be because of short-covering ahead of the F&O expiry on Thursday. “This appears to be short-covering ahead of F&O expiry. Postive global sentiment is also at play,” said Rusmik Oza, Head of Fundamental Research at Kotak Securities.

Rally in global stocks:Positive global sentiment extended to the Indian market as major global markets traded with healthy gains. Among the Asian peers, China’s, Japan’s and Korea’s key indices jumped by a percent.

Broad-based buying:Unlike the trend of the past few sessions, when the market rose due to support from select heavyweights, the market witnessed an across-the-board buying.

Investors bought in all sectors in the light of positive global sentiment. Telecom, metal, auto, bank and realty stocks witnessed strong traction.

FPIs appear bullish:FPIs appears to be positive on emerging markets such as India.

“FIIs are preferring emerging markets such as India as the recent easy monetary stance of Fed and ECB has improved liquidity in world markets. Besides, India’s economy is seeing a demand revival, especially in auto and consumer durables sectors. The government providing relief to telecom companies over spectrum-related dues and impending price increase planned by players have revived interest in the telecom sector, “said Sandeep Nayak, ED & CEO of Centrum Broking.

Technical indicators:Nifty breached the key resistance at 12, 000. Experts suggest the market looks ripe to scale new highs.

“Nifty was stuck in a narrow range of 12, 000 – 11, 800 and the consolidation has broken out on the upside today. On Friday last week, the index had taken support near the 20 – DMA. The key short term moving average indeed turned out to be strong support and pushed the bulls to stretch their arms, “said Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

” On the higher side, the index has reached the daily upper Bollinger Band and is now stone’s throw away from the all -time high of 12, 103. Once the index gets into the uncharted territory, 12, 270 – 12, 300 will be the subsequent target area to watch out for. 12, 0 30 – 12, 000 will now act as an immediate support zone, “Ratnaparkhi said.Get access to India’s fastest growing financial subscriptions service Moneycontrol Pro for as little as Rs 599 for first year.
