| | Market Commentary | | Euro rescue plan bail's out markets | Euro zone rescue plan, tough austerity measures by Spain and Portugal and rally in interest rate sensitive stocks led the market to snap the two-week's losing streak. | After tumbling in the last two weeks, Indian market made a spectacular comeback this week owing to $1 trillion rescue package announced by the European Union and International Monetary Fund to contain Greece' debt crisis from spreading to other Euro zone countries as well as other regions of the globe, tough austerity measures announced by the Spain and Portugal to cut its fiscal deficit and marginally easing inflation (WPI for April 2010 at 9.59%) reading back home lifting the market sentiments. However, concerns over implementation of the rescue plan and the austerity measures announced by Spain and Portugal, disappointing index of industrial production (IIP for March 2010 at 13.5%) numbers of March back home and lower than expected Q4 numbers of India's largest public sector bank, State Bank of India, trimming some of the gains.
The market remained volatile throughout the week, as the Sensex swung 590 points and the Nifty 186 points. The Sensex that breached the significant levels of 17000 last week regained that level on the very first day of this week. However, heavy sell-off on the last day of this week dragged the Sensex below 17000 levels again. Wrapping the week, the Sensex shut at 16995 higher by 225 points or 1.34% while the Nifty closed 75 points or 1.50% up at 5093.
On global front, after heavy sell-off in the last week, all the markets made sharp recovery during this week on rescue plan for Euro zone debt and tough austerity measures announced by Spain and Portugal. All the major indices ended the week on a positive note, as European markets outperformed the Asian and US markets posting significant gains. Out of the 13 sector indices on the BSE, only BSE Metal and BSE CG (consumer goods) closed with marginal loss of 0.44% and 0.16% respectively. The remaining indices ended higher. Among gainers, BSE Realty surged the most by 4.14%, followed by BSE Auto that rose by 3.69% for the week. | | Among 'A' group stock; Gainers were - Godrej Consumer Products topped the chart surging by 14.03% followed by Godrej Industries up by 10.83% and GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals rose by 9.93%. Losers were - Aban Offshore slid the most by 17.69%, followed by Idea Cellular that fell by 10.53% and Reliance Natural Resources that shed 10.14%. Reflecting global sentiments on Euro zone debt crisis, the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were risk averse and were net sellers for the second straight week, selling stocks of Rs824.40 crore during the week. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued to be the net sellers by selling Rs8.30 crore worth of shares in this week. News emanating from Euro zone can affect market sentiments in the forthcoming week. Back home, the Q4 numbers of Larsen & Toubro, NTPC, Gail and ITC will drive the market, but the most significant factor will be FIIs inflow. | TOP MOVERS (GROUP A) |  | | | | | Godrej Consumer | 346.2 | 14.0 | | | | | | | | | | | | | FII/MF ACTIVITIES |  | | | | Gross purchase | 13,507 | 2,666 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
