Dealer’s Diary
The markets opened on a firm note, with the key benchmark indices hitting 2.5 year highs. Stocks extended gains in morning trades on firm Asian equities. The market ruled positive in early afternoon trades after the latest data showed that the pace of rise in inflation slowed early this month. However, in mid afternoon trades markets pared gains as the European stocks slipped into the red, soon after a firm opening. Frenzied buying in index pivotals saw the key benchmark indices hitting fresh highs. Stocks ended positive with the Sensex and Nifty closing with gains of 1.1% each. The BSE mid-and small-call indices closed with gains of 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively. Among the front-liners, ACC, ICICI, HDFC, JP Associates and Jindal Steel gained 2–5%, while ONGC, Tata Power, Tata Motors, Bharti Airtel and SBI lost 0–1%. Among the mid-caps, Wockhardt, MVL, Thomas Cook, Petronet LNG and Ruchi Soya gained 8–20%, while Shriram City Union Finance, Torrent Pharma, BF Utilities, Motherson Sumi and Nava Bharat Ventures declined by 3%.
