Market slides towards fag end
Domestic indices fail to hold early gains as market sheds over 120 points from the day's high in closing hour.
Major headlines
  • Food inflation inches up to 16.44%
  • Tata Consultancy Servises ties up with Swiss-based pro-cycling team; the stock rises 0.97%
  • Educomp Solutions Q4 net profit up 24% yoy; the stock closes 0.89% higher
Indian indices
Domestic market traded higher on the second day in a row mirroring world equities after Spain and Portugal announced the austerity measures to cut fiscal deficit that eased concerns of euro zone debt to some extent and also buying interest in realty and auto stocks.

Tracking the strong Asian markets, the Sensex opened 58 points higher at 17324 and strengthened its gains till afternoon. The market shrugged off the rising inflation concerns (food inflation rose to 16.44% for week ended May 01, 2010) hitting the day's high of 17389. However, post lunch, the market pared some of its gains after the US index futures reversing gains and European market trimming its initial gains in choppy trade. At finishing line, the Sensex shut at 17266 higher by 70 points and the Nifty quoted 22 points higher at 5179. 

Market sentiment
The market breadth - the number of advancing shares to declining shares - was fairly positive. Of the total 2,981 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,746 stocks advanced, whereas 1,126 stocks declined. Hundred and nine stocks closed unchanged.
