ifty ended the Samvat 2079 on a positive note despite several global challenges. Nifty gained 9.4 per cent in this period and made a new life high crossing 20k mark for the first time, says Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
"As we get into Samvat 2080, we believe markets would continue its outperformance on the back of strong earnings and a healthy economic outlook," he said.
On Friday, Nifty opened negative but buying in the second half of the day helped indices to close with marginal gains of 30 points at 19425 levels.

After opening with a negative note, the market slipped into further weakness soon after the opening.
