After freak back on winning streak...Nifty, Sensex adds 1.5% each


It was a choppy start for the week with indices falling below their 200-DMA. A freak trade in Reliance and a crash in the overall market on Tuesday had the bulls bruised. Fortunately the remaining days saw some pull back though with the usual intra-day gyrations. Monsoon arrived in Kerala, but uncertainty persists over its progress, which are adding to the market’s woes. India grew faster than expected in fiscal year 2010, March quarter GDP growth came in at 8.6%. Impressive monthly auto sales numbers boosted the auto stocks. FMCG stocks attracted buying interest following positive news flow across the sector. HUL and Colgate were among the notable gainers. Volatility in the markets drove investor’s attention towards defensive pharma space. Finally, the NSE Nifty was up by 1.4% and BSE Sensex was up 1.5%.

The BSE Sensex hit intra-week high of 17,150 and low of 16,318 while the NSE Nifty hit intra-week high of 5,148 and low of 4,961.
