The key benchmark indices hit 9-week lows, with a setback in world stocks caused by euro zone debt worries hitting sentiment.

Sensex surges on L&T results...ONGC, ITC drag


The main Indian stock indices accelerated on Friday, extending the gains from the previous session, with the BSE Sensex zooming by nearly 200 points and the NSE Nifty touching the 5500 mark in intraday trading on the back of sustained gains in select index bellwethers.

The market breadth was favourable as the broader indices managed to register decent gains. Barring, Oil & Gas, PSU and FMCG, all the other sectoral indices on the BSE were in the positive territory.

The May pattern


It’s human nature to find patterns where there are none and to find skill where luck is a more likely explanation. - Bernstein William.

Things have turned a little sour for world equity markets in May. Investors seem to have taken the old axiom of 'sell in May and go away' seriously; and they have been lucky so far. India has been no exception with the key indices on a mostly downward spiral. The slide is likely to persist at least at the start of the last week of the month.
