Dealer’s Diary
The Indian indices witnessed a broad-based rally following strong gains in global indices, as the US reported a better-than-expected payroll data, giving credibility to recovery in the world's biggest economy. The markets opened gapup and continued to rise steadily without any major dip throughout the session. The positive sentiment was evident from lack of volatility. The benchmark indices, viz. BSE Sensex and S&P CNX Nifty, hit their highest level in the last 31 months as good monsoon and sustained buying by foreign funds boosted investor sentiment. The Sensex and Nifty closed with gains of 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively. BSE mid and small-cap indices rose in line with benchmark indices, registering gains of 1.3% and 1.8%, respectively. Among the front liners, Tata Steel, Hindalco, ICICI Bank, Sterlite Industries and JP Associates gained 3–7%, while Hero Honda, Reliance Comm., HUL and L&T lost 0–2%. Among mid caps, MVL, Gujarat Gas, Apollo Tyres, Sterling Bio and Indian Metals gained 6– 15%, while KEC International, Sirgun Holdings, Allcargo Global, Nirma and Sunteck Realty lost 2–7%.
