Let us take a quick glance at what happened on the Dalal Street today.
Investors on Tuesday turned jittery at highs and despite a good start, domestic indices erased gains to settle flat. The only silver lining was, they snapped a 5-day losing streak. Sensex ended above 49,750 while Nifty topped 14,700. What saved the day were gains in index heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, SBI and TCS.
ONGC rose over 5 per cent, IndusInd Bank advanced nearly 3 per cent while L&T gained 2 per cent. Kotak Mahindra Bank tanked 3 per cent while Maruti, Bajaj Auto and HDFC Bank fell over 1 per cent.
In the broader market, Tata group stocks Tata Steel and Tata Motors rallied 6-7 per cent. DMart climbed nearly 6 per cent. Hindalco, Page Industries and SAIL rose over 5 per cent. Trent fell 4 per cent, Adani Transmission and Biocon declined over 3 per cent.
