Market scales 3-1/2 week closing high


The key benchmark indices edged higher amidst high volatility to scale 3-1/2 week closing highs aided by firm European stocks. The BSE Sensex was up 149.48 points or 0.89%, up close to 375 points from the day's low. The market breadth was positive. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries jumped more than 4%. Other index heavyweights, Larsen & Toubro, Infosys and ICICI Bank too gained.

The S&P CNX Nifty settled above the psychological 5,000 mark after sliding below that level at the onset of the day's trading session. Auto stocks were in demand on reporting good sales figures for August 2011. Bike makers Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto retreated after scaling record peaks. Software stocks rose on bargain hunting reversing an intraday fall triggered by concerns that a likely economic slowdown in the US and Europe will hit technology spending by overseas clients. Banking pivotals were mixed and were off day's low.

Markets may open lower


Euro zone debt worries and US recession woes may again drag the Indian markets in the opening trade. The markets will follow global cues for direction

Headlines for the day:

Cabinet clears land acquisition Bill

Maruti's 3rd plant at Manesar to be delayed due to labour & sales woes

Hero Group enters hospitality business

A weak opening on cards on global market jitters


The market is geared for a weak session of trade on weak global cues marred by fears that Europe's sovereign debt troubles are worsening and could trigger a second full-blown banking crisis. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 41.50 points at the opening bell. However the recent resumption of buying by foreign funds may cap steep fall.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 133.22 crore on Monday, 5 September 2011, as per provisional data from the stock exchanges. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought shares worth Rs 147.23 crore on that day.

Sensex shows resilience…Nifty retains 5000


It was a strong show of resilience by the Indian equity markets even as the equities in other parts of the world sank on downbeat US jobs data and concerns over European debt crisis. Turnaround came in the afternoon after a disappointing morning session. Markets even ignored sharp drop in Indian service sector PMI for August.

Indian markets took heart from the recent turnaround in FIIs flows. Foreign investors have been net buyers over the last few sessions after offloading more than US$2bn last month. Moreover, monsoon has been good over the past couple of weeks, raising hope of some softening in food inflation once the new crop comes to the market.
