Extending gains into the fourth consecutive session, equity benchmarks -- Sensex and Nifty -- closed with healthy gains on July 20.

The Nifty reclaimed the 11,000-mark as strong results by HDFC Bank, HCL Technologies and Britannia Industries boosted market sentiment.

The Sensex ended the day with a gain of 399 points, or 1.08 percent, at 37,418.99 and the Nifty closed 121 points, or 1.11 percent, higher at 11,022.20.

"We would continue to witness stock-specific action as the earnings season unfolds. Though the near term momentum looks positive, we would advise traders to be cautious, given flaring US-China trade relations, persistent rise in virus cases and implementation of fresh lockdowns in parts of the country. On the other hand, we would advise investors to continue with their defensive portfolio approach,” said Siddhartha
Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
