Indian indices
The Indian markets swung between gains and losses in the first half of trade due to muted global cues. In the second part of trade, the markets got some support from the positive European equities. Buying in oil & gas, power, metal, capital goods and FMCG stocks further boosted the sentiments. Index heavyweights like Reliance Industries, ITC, ICICI Bank, Larsen & Toubro, HDFC and ONGC led the advance. Today it was a relief rally for investors as markets closed higher after two straight day of losses.

Sensex movements: The Sensex opened the session 14 points higher at 16156. The index remained highly volatile in the first half of trade, moving in positive and negative zones. Selling in banking and IT stocks dragged the index to day's low of 16046 in late morning trade. The index gathered pace in the afternoon session on European support and strong buying in oil & gas, metal and power space to hit the day's high of 16370. The Sensex rose 200 points to close at 16342 and the Nifty settled at 4899, up by 53 points. 

Market sentiment:
The market breadth stood positive. Of the 2922 stocks traded on the BSE, 1803 (61.70%) rose, 1018 (34.84%) fell and 101 (3.46%) remained unchanged.
