Sensex, Nifty hit 2-1/2-year highs as FIIs continue buying


Bulls are on a rampage. Media reports that the government has relaxed the requirement of minimum 25% public shareholding for listed state-run firms send the key benchmark indices surging to 2-1/2-year highs. A further improvement in the southwest monsoon rains, sustained buying by foreign funds and firm global stocks, also underpinned sentiments. Eleven out of 13 sectoral indices on BSE closed in the green. The market breadth was strong as mid-cap and small-cap indices on BSE outperformed the Sensex. The barometer index BSE Sensex jumped 143.51 points or 0.79%, up close to 148 points from the day's low and off close to 22 points from the day's high.

Weekly: Sensex, Nifty add 1.3%


Indian indices inched higher but failed to cross the psychological barrier of 5,500 mark as trading activity was restricted in a narrow band of 5,430-5,480. The rally was dominated by large cap stocks as the broader markets remained directionless. Mixed bag of earnings from corporates and rich valuations also restricted the gains in the key indices. Finally, the Nifty added 1.3% to close the week at 5,439.
