Post-market: Listless session; Q4 GDP at 8.6%

Monday, May 31, 2010

May 31, 2010 | 5:30 PM

Listless session; Q4 GDP at 8.6% 
In an otherwise drab session domestic indices log in modest gains on robust GDP earnings.
Major headlines
  • Mahindra & Mahindra?s Q4FY2010 total income surges 45.5% year on year; the stock jumps 5.03%
  • Q4FY2010 gross domestic product (GDP) comes at 8.6% 
  • Diamond Power Infrastructure bags Rs117-crore order; the stock closes 1.70% higher
Indian indices
Continuing the charge for the fourth straight day, bulls pushed domestic indices higher on supportive Asian markets and robust gross domestic product (GDP) readings. The GDP for Q4FY2010 came in at 8.6%. The GDP for FY2010 stood at 7.4% and topped the government's projection of 7.2%. The buoyant sentiment was also supported by news that the monsoon is also progressing at a steady pace.

On mixed leads from Asian indices, Sensex opened mere nine points higher but turned negative though for a brief period. It shuttled between negative and positive zones right till the announcement of GDP numbers. Above-expected GDP readings lifted sentiments and Sensex edged higher. However, profit booking dragged the index back in red in afternoon and Sensex touched the day's low?of 16806. In the last hour, late buying in heavyweights such as Reliance Industries and automobile and oil & gas stocks catapulted Sensex to day's high?of 16971. Sensex ended the session at 16945, up 81 points. Nifty settled at 5086, 20 points higher.
