 Market Commentary 
Markets celebrate unchanged credit policy
The Sensex rallies as the RBI keeps all key rates unchanged in its annual credit policy.
Tracking negative Asian cues the Sensex opened weak at 13894, down 34 points over the previous close, and slipped further to touch the day's low of 13850.    
The market remained subdued ahead of the Reserve Bank India's (RBI) annual credit policy announcement. The Sensex gained momentum closer to the credit policy announcement and zoomed on reports that the RBI has kept all the key rates unchanged in its annual monetary and credit policy. The Sensex jumped to touch the day's high of 14197, gaining 269 points from its previous close on the back of hectic buying in banking stocks. The market shed some gains towards the close on profit bookings in Sensex heavyweights and information technology stocks. The Sensex finally ended the session with gains of 208 points at 14137 while the Nifty added 57 points to close at 4142.
