Sensex marches towards 17K
With positive global cues and buying in auto, metal and realty stocks helped the Sensex and the Nifty to inch towards the significant 17000 and 5100 levels respectively
Major headlines
  • Larsen & Toubro bags Rs747-crore orders; the stock ends 1.76% higher
  • Food inflation rises to 16.74%
  • JSW Energy enters MoU with Osho, IOM; the stock closes 2.35% higher
Indian indices
Domestic bourses extended their gains on the second consecutive day. As noticed in the past few trading sessions, the market pared its gains in late afternoon. But the case was different today as the indices managed to hold its early gains to close the session on a strong note. Positive Asian markets coupled with robust buying in auto, metal and realty sectors powered the key benchmark indices to surge over 1.5%, brushing aside the rising inflation (food inflation rose to 16.74% for week ended May 29, 2010 from 16.55% previous week) worries.

The bellwether Sensex started the session on a positive note, 11 points up at 16669. The indices gathered momentum as the session progressed. The market spent time in consolidation mode throughout the morning session. It remained firm in afternoon session despite of negative opening in the European markets and rise in food inflation. However, the Sensex rallied further in late afternoon, with no hiccups as the European indices turned positive. At closing bell, the Sensex quoted at 16922, higher by 264 points and the Nifty signed off with gains of 78 points at 5079.
