"The strength in today's markets has come as a surprise as the global cues were not very strong," said Dipen Shah of Kotak Securities.
"With the Eurozone crisis largely under control, the key external factor for indian equities is the crude price movement," added Shah. "Oil prices cooled off a bit after Saudi Arabia promised to meet shortfalls in global oil supplies."
