Market Outlook---March 5, 2010


Dealer’s Diary
The benchmark indices ended with small losses after witnessing intraday volatility. Fears of a rise in interest rates following the rise in food inflation weighed on investor sentiment. Weak global cues played the spoilsport, after strong gains on the domestic bourses over the past three trading session. The Sensex and the Nifty closed marginally in the red, down by 0.2% each. The BSE Mid-cap and Small-cap indices outperformed the benchmark indices and closed in the green with gains of 0.8% each. Among the front-liners, RCom, DLF, Reliance Infra, HUL and Tata Steel were up by 1-2%, while Infosys, Maruti Suzuki, ICICI Bank, Hindalco and JP Associates were down by about 1%. In the mid-cap segment, UB Holdings, MRF, Coromandel International, 3M India and Apollo Tyres were up by 6-12%, while Amtek Auto, Indusind Bank, Indiabulls Financial Services, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Indiabulls Power were down by 3-7%.
