Dealer’s Diary
The Indian markets opened strong in contrast to weak Asian markets and fall of European markets in the previous session post news of Greece’s worse than expected deficit. Volatility was evident as markets gave up early gains only to rise swiftly again by mid-session. Markets witnessed another sharp sell-off from day’s highs to touch intra-day lows. While buying resumed from lower levels in final session, markets stayed extremely choppy and closed with fair gains. The Sensex and Nifty closed with gains of 0.7% each. The BSE Mid-cap and Smallcap indices underperformed the benchmark index as they gained 0.3% and 0.5% respectively. Among the front-liners, ICICI Bank, Jaiprakash Associates, L&T, M&M, and DLF were up by 2-3%, while ACC, Bharti Airtel, Sun Pharma, Wipro and Hero Honda were down by 1-2%. In the Mid-cap segment, Sterlite Technologies, Religare Enterprises, State Bank of Jaipur, SKF India and HSBC Investdirect were up by 6-12%, while Indiabulls Financials, Shree Renuka Sugar, Shriram City, REI Six Ten and Triveni Engg were down by 3-4%.
