DSIJ Mindshare

On Thursday, the domestic benchmark indices closed on a positive note taking cues from FII buying, which helped them to handle the downward pressure from global markets. 

On Wednesday, Indian equity benchmarks jumped clocking gains across sectors taking cues from strength across global markets as robust corporate earnings in the US relaxed investors' minds about slowing growth due to steep hikes in interest rates. Oil & gas, financial, IT, and auto shares turned out to be the biggest thrusts lifting the headline indices.

Recording gains in PSU and select private banks, financial services, and select heavyweight stocks, the benchmark indices closed higher rising towards the end of Tuesday's trading session. Sensex was up 246.47 points or 0.45 per cent at 54,767.62 level whereas Nifty gained 62 points or 0.38 per cent at 16,340.50 level. 

It was a happy Monday on the bourses as markets all over the world were trading in positive territory despite volatility and rising inflation. Sensex surged 1.41 per cent to end at 54,521.15 whereas Nifty 50 clocked in 229.30 points or 1.43 per cent to close at the 16,278.50 level.    

The domestic equity benchmarks, BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 continued their losses in a consecutive fourth as the financial and IT pockets erased the gains in the second half of the session.
