| May 27, 2010 | 5:30 PM | Nifty reclaims 5K Heavy short covering due to May F&O expiry and strong global cues lead the Nifty to cross 5000 | | | | | | Major headlines | - Edelweiss keen on banking foray; the stock closes 0.77% higher

| Indian indices Bulls continued to dominate the market on the second consecutive day as key benchmark index Nifty regained its psychological levels of 5000. Heavy short covering owing to May F&O expiry, strong global cues, and buying in banking, auto and oil & gas stocks helped the indices to recover heavy losses suffered in Tuesday's (May 25, 2010) session. Weak global cues on the report that China was looking to cut its holdings in Euro zone sovereign debt and expiry of May F&O contracts set the pitch for an unappetising start. The Sensex opened 23 points higher and soon turned negative and lingered in red for brief part of the morning trade to touch the day's low - 57 points lower. However, recovery in Asian markets after China denied the report about cutting its Euro zone debt, helped the Sensex to cut its initial losses and rebound into green. The Sensex extended gains owing to short covering and buying in index heavyweights. The strong opening of European markets also supported the rally that helped the Sensex to hit the day's high of 16694 and the Nifty to regain the crucial 5000 levels. At closing, the Sensex ended with gains of 278 points at 16,666 while the Nifty shut at 5003, up 86 points. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | | | Apollo Hospitals | 761.40 | 8.02 | | | Adani Enterprises | 543.15 | -6.47 | | | Piramal Healthcare | 512.65 | -3.86 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Market sentiment The market breadth was positive as advancing stocks outpaced declining stocks on second straight session.
