Indian equity benchmarks closed with gains on Thursday, supported by value buying that offset mixed global cues.

The BSE Sensex rose 238 points, or 0.31%, to finish at 76,741.82, while the Nifty 50 ended the session at 23,962.80.

Market participants are increasingly looking to short-term technical setups for direction.

Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking identified three specific names for short-term trading, reflecting a broader shift among strategists toward tactical positioning.

This follows similar moves by other brokers, including Bajaj Broking, which recently highlighted a basket of five large-cap stocks citing a bullish technical environment.

The rally comes as investors navigate persistent headwinds related to a below-par monsoon season.
