Equity benchmarks - Sensex and Nifty - logged strong gains on August 4, snapping its losing streak in the last four consecutive sessions, supported by heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, HDFC twins and ICICI Bank.

Supportive global cues and gains in tech stocks boosted investor sentiment in early trade. As the day progressed, healthy buying in auto, banking and energy stocks further extended the rally.

The Sensex settled with a gain of 748 points, or 2.03 percent, at 37,687.91 and the Nifty ended at 11,095.25, up 204 points, or 1.87 percent.

"We believe the market will continue to take cues from global peers and the upcoming Reserve Bank of India policy meet would be the next major trigger. At the same time, as more companies announce their Q1 FY21 earnings, stock-specific action would continue to induce high volatility. We reiterate our advice on stock selection and risk management," said Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking.
