MARKET COMMENT | Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

"Indian benchmark indices traded positive, boosted by financials and IT. Hopes of another stimulus package are giving some support to the markets. The rising cases of infections are a worry and markets are hoping that it will peak soon. The sustainability of this rally will depend on government measures to boost the economy and support the industries, once we emerge out of the lockdown."

Unilever withdraws guidance as virus knocks China, ice cream sales slide, Reuters reports

Consumer goods giant Unilever Plc withdrew its full-year forecast on Thursday, saying the hit from lockdowns in China and India, as well as lower ice cream sales, offset strong US and European sales of cleaning items, sending its shares down 5 per cent. Underlying sales across Asia, the Middle East and Russia, fell 3.7 per cent, as lockdowns in the quarter restricted restaurant visits and shopping in China and led to factory shutdowns that halted production in India.
