Domestic market ended the session with handsome gains backed by significant buying that emerged after Asian markets reversed losses. Higher US index futures also added to sentiments. Market touched the day’s high during afternoon trade mirroring firm European markets though afterwards pared gains a bit. However, monsoon worries continued to remain a key concern as 9 States have declared drought. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said that government has no proposal to write off loans taken by farmers as it did in 2008 in its first term in office. Further, India’s July export is down 26% from a year earlier. The BSE Sensex ended above 15,000 level and NSE Nifty closed above 4,450 mark.
Market opened on flat note today after reporting heavy selling in previous session. The US stocks markets closed lower on Monday, marking the worst single-session percentage loss in six weeks due to huge selling pressure. Slower-than-expected economic growth in Japan prompted a global sell-off on worries that an economic rebound may be further off than previously considered. Investors were not exciting by the news that the empire state manufacturing index moved into positive territory, signaling growth for the first time since April 2008. Further, Indian benchmark indices bounced back, as investors looked for some bargain chasing after yesterday’s sharp fall.
