Nifty regains 5400 after 30 months
The Nifty hits the 52-week high as it crosses the 5400 levels for the first time in 30 months, however, closes at 5383
Major headlines
  • HCL Technologies signs deal with Saudi?s Al Majdouie; the stock closes 0.97% higher
  • May index of industrial production at 11.5% 
  • Sintex Industries? Q1 net profit rises 20% yoy; the stock ends 0.22% lower
Indian indices
The domestic markets continued its northbound journey carrying previous week?s strength.

The markets rallied for the third consecutive day on account of the supportive global cues. During the day, the Sensex hit the 18000 levels for the first time since April 2010 while Nifty hit the 5400 levels for the first time in 30 months. The domestic bourses could not sustain such high levels and pared its gains as India?s index of industrial production (IIP) reading for May came in at 11.5% as against 17.6% in the previous month, which was below market expectation.

The Sensex started the session 43 points higher tracking positive Asian markets. The index extended its gains as the session progressed. In the morning session, the Sensex crossed the 18000 levels to touch the day?s high of 18010. However, the Sensex could not hold such levels and slipped to touch the day?s low of 17875 after disappointing May 2010 IIP reading. In the afternoon session, the index regained strength as the European markets opened positive.
