 Market Commentary 

Sensex displays solid strength

Driven by sharp gains in heavyweight, FMCG, banking, and realty stocks, the market ended on a buoyant note at 20,813.

The market witnessed a sharp pull-back after dipping around 250 points in early trades. The rally was mainly triggered by the buoyancy in heavyweights, FMCG, 

 

banking, and realty stocks. The Sensex resumed with a negative gap of 50 points at 20,637 tracking weak Asian indices on concerns of rising unemployment in US confirming the possible recession. However, sustained buying in frontline stocks thereafter helped the Sensex to turn positive to touch the day's high of 20,861. Firm openings in European indices also contributed to rally the market. The market saw profit bookings in the afternoon and shed some of its early gains but, it regained strength towards the close. The Sensex finally wrapped up the session at 20,813, up 126 points. The Nifty closed by adding five points at 6,279.
