Indian indices
Domestic markets ended the volatile session on a positive note, rebounding from its steepest drop in five months. The Nifty tried a lot to get back above the crucial psychological levels of 6000 but closed a tad below those levels. Supportive global cues and a dip in food inflation to 10.3% for the week ended November 06, 2010 as compared to 12.3% seen in the previous week helped the markets to post modest gains.

Buying was seen in metal, auto, capital goods and pharma stocks. Selling was seen in banking and realty stocks. The broader markets have underperformed in today's trade. BSE Small-cap index shed more than 1.3%. Top gainers on the BSE Mid-cap ? KGN Industries, Den Networks, Cox & Kings, Jet Airways and Bata India were up in the range of 3-7%. Top losers on the BSE Mid-cap ? Indiabulls, MVL, Kwality Dairy, J&K Bank and Ruchi Soya were down in the range of 4-7%. 

Sterlite Industries ? the nation?s largest copper and zinc producer ? gained the most in a week. Hindalco Industries ? the biggest aluminum producer ? surged by 4.3%.

Jaiprakash Associates ? a builder of dams, roads and bridges ? advanced for the first time in five days. India?s main stock gauge is on course to double as spending on infrastructure such as roads and airports sustains economic growth, according to CLSA Asia- Pacific Markets.

Tracking supportive Asian markets, the Sensex began the session 133 points higher at 19998. In initial trade, the index hit the day?s high of 20056. The Sensex started to trim gains from the highest level and slipped into the negative zone in the morning session to touch the day?s low of 19616. However, from the day?s low, the index gradually erased losses and turned positive in the afternoon trade. The index for most part of the day gyrated between gains and losses. The Sensex remained volatile and ended the session with modest gains.
