 Market Commentary 

Market slips on political uncertainties

The market tumbled from higher levels and shed 85 points amid high volatile trades. 

The market rose more than 2% on expectations that the global credit problem and local political worries may get resolved very soon.  

 

The Sensex resumed with a gap of 209 points at 14,458 tracking positive global cues and rallied sharply to touch the day's high of 14,555. Cement stocks led the rally with banking and metal stocks. However, the market received a major hit in the afternoon as the central committee of CPI (M) announced the party politburo's opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal and authorised it to do whatever it can to block the deal. Quickly the Sensex entered in to the negative territory but recovered soon. The market remained choppy thereafter and zigzagged between positive and negative territory. The Sensex finally closed the session at 14,164, down 85 points, while the Nifty ended the session at 4,115, down 38 points.

Movers & Shakers

  • ICSA India tumbled despite receiving an order worth Rs18.60 crore from M P Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd.
  • L&T gained marginally on receiving a repeat order from RollDock BV of Netherlands for the construction of two ships worth $70 million.
  • ITD Cementation rallied sharply on bagging a contract from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation worth Rs893 crore.
  • Sun TV Network slipped despite launching a radio station at Tirupati under the brand S FM.
