Weekly: Stellar show by Sensex, Nifty

The bulls continued their rampage on Indian bourses on back of July IIP data, which beat all expectations. The flush of funds so far has led to Indian indices performing relatively better to their global peers. However, lack of participation by the broader market in the recent rally raises some doubts about the strength and sustainability of the advance. Finally, Nifty advanced by 4.3% during the week and Sensex added 4.2%.



Sensex intra-week high of 19,639 and low of 18,845

Nifty intra-week high of 5,901 and low of 5,639
