I had mentioned in Friday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were looking weak. The major indices rallied in a small way on Monday and closed with less than 0.50% gains over Friday’s close. The rally was however on lower volumes of trading. There is no immediate trigger for the Nifty to head higher and so the index may be range-bound between 8,550 and 8,650. The trends of the major indices in the course of Monday’s trading are given in the table below: The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Initially, on Monday, the benchmark indices opened on a flat note prompted by mixed Asian and US markets.  Investors also remain cautious ahead of key domestic macro-economic data such as gross domestic product (GDP) and eight core industrial output data to be announced on August 31. Besides, lower crude oil prices also added to the downward trajectory. However, Indian equity markets were lifted by sector-specific buying. Consequently, the key Indian indices closed the day's trade in the green, as healthy buying was witnessed in automobile, capital goods and metal stocks. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions


Following its merger with Bharti's retail business, Future Retail got listed at Rs153 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Monday. The stock was listed in the exchange in the list of 'T' Group Securities. Under the scheme of arrangement, the company was segregated into Future Enterprise, which took the responsibility of the backend business and Bharti Retail, which takes care of the frontend business. In May last year, the Future group approved the consolidation and realignment of its retail operations with Bharti Retail Ltd to form one of the biggest supermarket chains. In order to streamline the operations resulting from the consolidation, the respective board of directors had proposed to demerge the retail business of Future Retail to Bharti Retail and to demerge the infrastructure business of Bharti Retail to Future Retail. The shares of the company closed at Rs160.65, up 5.00% on the BSE. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
