Sensex ends above 17k...Nifty tops 5150
The benchmark Indian stock indices ended with smart gains on Thursday, extending its winning streak to a third straight trading session. After consolidating in the first half, the markets galloped in the mid afternoon trades on the back of short-covering and fresh buying in Banking and Real Estate shares. Capital Goods, Power and PSU shares also accelerated. However, sustained weakness in index heavyweights Reliance Industries and TCS kept the gains in check. The market participants cheered a sharp drop in crude oil prices. Oil futures trading in New York declined to the lowest level in eight months after US stockpiles unexpectedly swelled and the Federal Reserve cut its outlook on the world's largest economy. In addition, a report today signaled that China’s manufacturing will shrink for an eighth straight month in June. The BSE Sensex ended at 17,032 gaining by 0.8% or 136 points.
