February 18: Benchmarks Extend Gains; FIIs Turn Buyers & More

In this episode of BreakOut by 5paisa, we talk about yesterday’s market session where Indian equity benchmarks extended their gains supported by broad-based buying across sectors, with midcaps and smallcaps outperforming. We also cover derivatives positioning, easing volatility, and institutional flows as FIIs turned net buyers while DIIs continued their buying streak. Globally, US markets closed with slight gains, Asian markets traded modestly higher in thin holiday conditions, and precious metals extended their decline for the third straight session.
