The benchmark Nifty 50 and S&P BSE Sensex .BSESN logged record closing highs for the second session in a row on Monday , led by gains in state-owned companies.

"We maintain a positive outlook and recommend a "buy on dips" strategy," said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking.
Meanwhile, comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Monday that recent U.S. data added to confidence on progress in taming inflation, boosted hopes that the U.S. interest rate cut may not be far off.
Traders have now completely ruled out a rate pause in September, with a odds of a 25 basis point cut at about 90%, according to CME FedWatch.
