Markets strengthen on ECB plan
Europe?s Central Bank unveiling a plan to lend $161 billion to banks for three months, easing liquidity fears, lifts the domestic indices.
Major headlines
  • Alstom Projects surges on winning order; the stock ends 2.93% higher
  • Tata Motors ties up with IndusInd Bank; Tata Motors ends 1.28% up
  • Larsen and Toubro wins Rs1,383 crore orders; the stock closes 0.59% higher
Indian indices
After a heavy sell-off in the previous session, it was expected that the Indian markets might extend its losses in today's trade with looming worries over the global recovery. However, nothing as of such happened today. In fact, the market sentiments back home got lifted owing to the continuous buying in the index heavyweights and the rebound in the European markets to end the day on a strong note. The markets staged a smart recovery towards the fag end on the news that the European Central Bank reportedly planned to lend $161 billion to banks for three months and that 171 institutions subscribed to the three-month refinancing operation.

The Sensex opened the day with a negative bias, down 57 points at 17477 tracking the weak global cues. Initially, the index fell 103 points to hit the day's low of 17374. However, in the mid-morning session, the Sensex rebounded and traded in the green zone. In the afternoon trades, the Sensex zoomed triggered by the strong recovery in the European markets coupled with tremendous buying in oil & gas, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) shares and also in the index heavyweights like Reliance Industries, ITC, ICICI Bank and Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) helped the index to rally in the late trades.
