 Market Commentary 
Realty stocks lift market spirits
Rally in realty stocks leads the Sensex gain 361 points for the day.
Better weekly inflation numbers spirit up the market as the 30-stock Sensex gains around 350 points at close. The market staged a solid performance, backed by strong all-round buying  
inspite of other major Asian indices exhibiting a subdued trend in morning trades. The market opened five points higher at 9,710, but slipped immediately on selling in heavyweight, health care and oil & gas stocks and touched the day's low of 9,633. However buying at lower levels in realty, banking, power and public sector units' stocks saw Sensex shed all losses and enter into the green again. Sustained buying thereafter helped Sensex regain the 10,100 mark and touch the intra-day high of 10,110. Sensex finally closed the session at 10,076, up 361 points. Nifty ended the session 106 points higher at 3,061.

The market breadth was negative with the losers outpacing the gainers in the ratio of 1.43:1. Of the 2,547 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,490 stocks advanced, whereas 966 stocks declined. Ninety one stocks ended unchanged. Among sectoral indices, BSE IT moved up by 5.77% followed by BSE Teck (up 3.94%), BSE Metal (up 3.63%) and BSE Auto (up 3.54%). However BSE CD and BSE Realty closed in a negative territory and shed 0.05% each.

Among reality stocks, DLF shot up 9.56% at Rs277.40, Unitech soared 9.17% at Rs38.10, Indiabulls Realestate surged 8.95% at Rs143.05 and Phoenix Mill jumped 4.96% at Rs77.20.
