The Indian stock market opened on a cautious note, however, maintaining its rally of hitting historical peaks as both Sensex and Nifty opened higher and hit all-time high for fourth straight trade session. The BSE Sensex opened on the higher side and hit its all-time high of 41,809. However, the Nifty-50 index was also not a laggard. The 50-stocks index scaled its another high of 12,293.90 for the fourth straight trade session in the Opening Bell. Bank Nifty gained 94 points and scaled at 32,335 levels in the intraday trade session.

Speaking on the current share market live scenario Prakash Pandey, MD & CEO at Plutus Advisors said, "The market is rising because of the FIIs pumping money into the Indian equity markets. However, the AMC fund managers also indulge in their mutual fund NAV management and hence, I would advise stock market investors to keep booking-profit on rise as the rally may end after 31st December."
