Greece pushes aid button; market up fourth day
Bulls continue their move ahead for the fourth straight day, as Greece asks for the activation of aid mechanism and on gains in banking stocks 
Major headlines
  • Banks seek flexibility in debt recast
  • Corporation Bank?s Q4FY2010 net profit 20% higher than in same quarter of the last year; the stock closes 0.37% lower.
  • ICICI Bank brings back the teaser home loan scheme; the stock moves 3.37% higher.
Indian indices
The charge of the bulls, which was hampered yesterday on resurfacing of Greece? debt woes and which abated with the nation asking for activation of EU/IMF aid, continued albeit 
in a muted manner today. The bull?s cause was also aided by ICICI (that rose by 3.37%), which re-launched its teaser home rates and on hopes that its earnings, due today, will top market?s projections. Reliance Industries (which is slated to announce its earnings today) that rose by 1.10% also helped. 

The day?s high was 17725, around 150 points higher. Wipro gained on profit taking after the company announced its earnings, a surprise 2:3 bonus issue and a final dividend of Rs6 per share. Banking and capital goods stocks also lifted the sentiments. At the end, the Sensex, which had shed nearly 17 points in the last four sessions (in total), added 120 points higher at 17533, while Nifty closed 35 points higher at 5304.

Market sentiment
Declining shares outnumbered gaining stocks today. Of the 3,005 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,503 (50%) stocks declined, whereas 1,412 (47%) stocks advanced. Ninety stocks remained unchanged (3%).
