 Market Commentary 

Realty stocks rally in a volatile market

While most of the frontline stocks saw modest gains, realty stocks held on to their gains and ended firm.

The mood was extremely bullish in the first hour of the trading session as the Sensex recorded a new high of 16,416 on continued optimism regarding foreign   

 

investment inflows. However, IT companies suffered a setback on the rising rupee, as the rupee breached its nine-year high of 39.90 against US dollar. Despite registering new high, the market exhibited weak trend as the trading progressed. A negative open in European markets saw the Sensex touch the day's low of 16,261 by the afternoon. Exhibiting sharp volatility thereafter, the Sensex recovered on sustained buying in capital goods and metal stocks. Although action in the frontline stocks was subdued, realty stocks stole the show as the BSE Realty index rose over 6% on the back of solid gains in Unitech, Indiabulls Realestate and DLF, which appreciated by more than 4-12% each. The Sensex finally ended the session marginally above its previous close at 16,348, up 25 points, while the Nifty gained15 points to close at 4,748.
