Dealer’s Diary
The market surged in the morning trade due to firm Asian stocks. The key benchmark indices scaled their highest level in nearly 32 months. The market continued its uptrend in early afternoon trade. Stocks further extended gains in mid-afternoon trade, bolstered by better-than-expected industrial production numbers in July. The market hit a fresh intraday high in afternoon on positive global cues post Europe's Basel III norms for banks and US economic data. Finally, the Sensex and Nifty closed with gains of 2.2% and 2.1%, respectively. BSE mid and small-cap indices underperformed the benchmark indices to end higher by 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively.

Among mid caps, Sigrun Holdings, Berger Paints, BASF India, UTV Software and M&M Finance gained 6–10%, while Shree Global Traders, Ruchi Soya, GSPL, IVR Prime and Allcargo Global lost 3–11%.
