Indian stock, Benchmarks nudge up, broader indices soar at markets

Indian stock, Benchmarks nudge up, broader indices soar at markets : Benchmark indices for equities markets nudged up during the week but broader markets put on a spirited rally as foreign funds lent critical support. The 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) nudged up on a weekly basis to 18,376.48 points, up 0.6% or 110.38 points, compared to its previous weekly close of 18,266.1 points.

At the National Stock Exchange, the 50-scrip S&P CNX Nifty too closed in the green at 5,516.75 points, up 0.74% compared to the previous Friday close of 5,476.1 points.


Broader market indices did much better, with the BSE midcap index rising 2.46% higher and the BSE smallcap index gaining 1.59%.

According to data available with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, foreign institutional investors bought stocks worth $549.68 million during the week.

However, disappointing growth numbers and a decline in output of core industries weighed on market sentiments.

The Indian economy grew by 8.5% in 2010-11, around 10 basis points below earlier projections, due to lower expansions in factory output and financial services in the fourth quarter.

Six core industries grew at a slower 5.2% in April compared to the previous corresponding period.

On a weekly basis, among the top gainers on the 30-scrip Sensex were: Reliance Communciations, up 15.7% at Rs 93.40; DLF, up 7.2% at Rs 233.60; Jaiprakash Associates, up 6.1% at Rs 84.75; and SBI, up 5.1% at Rs 2,312.80.

Major Sensex losers included: Tata Motors, down 13.5% at Rs 1,025.10; M&M, down 3% at Rs 667.20; Bhel, down 1.2% at Rs 1,911.65; and Tata Steel, down 0.6% at Rs 573.50.
