Reliance-led rally pushed the energy sector higher; the sustainability of the momentum will depend on follow-up buying. Britannia and GodrejCP look strong in the FMCG segment. Some more downside is still left in the metal and real estate sectors. Agro/specialty chemicals and textile stocks are gaining momentum, so one should keep an eye on the same."
