Equity gauges scaled upward on Thursday with banking and financial taking the lead.

Analysts said the further direction of markets will depend on the monsoon, opening up of economy in a phased manner and pace of vaccination going forward.

As states ease restrictions gradually, the demand environment is expected to get better which can have a positive impact on equities.
