New Delhi, March 6 -- Indian markets extended their winning streak for the second consecutive session on Thursday, March 6, supported by positive global and domestic cues. The prolonged sell-off in domestic equities, which has made India the worst-performing major market since late September, has brought valuations to more reasonable levels, allowing value buyers to step in.

The Nifty 50 ended the session 0.90% higher at 22,528 points, while the Sensex closed at 74,354, marking a 0.90% gain from Wednesday's close. The broader market indices also ended in the green, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 0.23% to 49,283, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 surged 1.13% to 15,370.
