Stock market activity often witnesses sudden spikes in trading volumes, signaling increased interest from investors. Today, IG Petrochemicals Ltd (IGIL) and CE Info Systems Ltd (CEINSYSTECH) emerged as the top volume buzzers, registering a sharp surge in their traded volumes. Despite no major corporate announcements, the increased activity in these stocks suggests significant market-driven movements.
IG Petrochemicals Ltd recorded a trading volume of 3.61 lakh shares, significantly higher than its two-week average of 0.93 lakh shares. This translates to a volume change of 3.87 times. The stock experienced a sharp decline of 9.07 per cent, closing at Rs 333.35, down Rs 33.25 from the previous session. The total turnover for the day stood at Rs 12.07 crore. The absence of any notable company-specific developments indicates that the price movement is likely influenced by broader market forces, profit booking, or speculative trading.
CE Info Systems Ltd also witnessed a notable surge in trading volume, reaching 1.09 lakh shares compared to its two-week average of 0.34 lakh shares, marking a volume increase of 3.24 times. The stock declined by 4.47 per cent to close at Rs 1,276, down Rs 59.7 from the previous session. The turnover stood at Rs 13.91 crore. Similar to IGIL, the lack of any significant announcements suggests that market sentiment and trader activity primarily drove the stock’s movement.
