PSU Bank is the standout performer, rising more than 3 per cent on the NSE because of the strong interest rates in PSU Banks.

On Tuesday, the domestic equities continued the upwards journey for the second straight session as low-level buying pushed benchmark indices higher. Lack of major selling reasons in the domestic and global market along with a drop in commodity prices seems to have augured well for the markets. 

Buying interest was visible in the broader market indices as well with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap 100 advancing 0.85 per cent & 1.28 per cent, respectively. Nifty Smallcap 100 index is just 1.8 per cent away from its all-time high.
