Indian indices

It was a sedate start to the week. The key benchmark indices witnessed a rangebound trade amid volatility and closed on a flat note with a positive bias. Lack of conviction among investors led to quiet session. Select buying by funds and also late profit booking eroded early gains. The broader market underperformed the Sensex.

While, Punjab National Bank, Cipla, Ranbaxy Laboratories, Wipro and Housing Development Finance Corporation lost in the range of 2-3%.

The Sensex began the session higher by 127 points at 18135. Index traded rangebound all throughout the morning session and remained in the green zone. In the afternoon session, the Sensex started to build gains and hit the day’s high of 18181. However in last hour of the trade, the index witnessed volatility and hit the day’s low of 17977.

The Sensex managed to end the session higher by 29 points at 18037 and the Nifty remained unchanged at 5396.

Firm global stocks help Sensex recover from 5-month low; breadth weak


Trading for the week began on a positive note as the Sensex registered small gains in a volatile trading session.

US index futures were in green. The BSE 30-share Sensex was up 29.04 points or 0.16%, up close to 60 points from the day's low and off close to 140 points from the day's high.

Market seen opening higher on positive global cues

No peace as yet!


Peace of mind is that mental condition in which you have accepted the worst. - Lin Yutang

The world seems to be embracing riskier assets, in other words- equities. Even Egypt's investors are said to be gearing for a rally in their market. But India seems to be in a battered club for quite a while. The worst may not be over and investors will hope to forget the Friday fright which saw the main indices tumbling mercilessly.
