According to Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia: "After the weak start market soon stabilised and has breached the day's high due to continued flow of the foreign funds in the market. New lockdown has been imposed in UK following the increase in number of cases of new strain of coronavirus, which can also lead to a small correction in the market in the second half."
