Dealer’s Diary
The benchmark indices witnessed a gap-down opening following cues from weak Asian and US markets last week. The markets traded in a narrow range for most part of the morning session. However, mild recovery ensued in early afternoon trade on reports that monsoon has arrived after being stalled by a cyclone last week. The market extended gains led by banking stocks along with recovery in European stocks and positive US futures. The Sensex and Nifty ended the day with losses of 2.0% each. Mid-cap and small-cap indices outperformed the Sensex and closed lower by 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively. Among the front-liners, Reliance Communication, ACC and Hero Honda were up by 0–5%, while DLF, Hindalco, Tata Steel, Tata Motors and Sterlite were down by 4–6%. In the mid-cap segment, REI Agro, Astrazeneca, BOC India, Gillette and Alfa Laval were up by 6–15%, while Rajesh Exports, Mcleod Russel, JM Financial, Whirlpool and Usha Martin were down by 5–6%.
