I had mentioned in Tuesday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex continued to be under pressure. The major indices of the Indian stock markets rallied on Wednesday and closed with gains over Tuesday’s close. On the NSE, there were 688 advances, 1,048 declines and 330 unchanged. The trends of the major indices in the course of Wednesday’s trading are given in the table below:


A recovery in the rupee value along with value buying buoyed the key Indian equity indices on Wednesday. The key equity indices -- S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 -- which had a gap-up opening, traded in a flat-to-negative range, as investors were cautious over the upcoming macro-economic inflationary data point.

However, the key indices reversed the bearish trend after the mid-afternoon session as buying was witnessed in FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), metal and capital goods counters. In the past two trade sessions the Sensex had shed nearly 1,000 points and gave investors an opportunity to pick up stocks on an attractive valuation. On the currency front, the Indian rupee registered a recovery at 72.11 at 4.00 p.m. after it touched a new low of 72.91 earlier in the day. At the provisional closing time, the wider Nifty50 on the National Stock Exchange stood at 11,369.90 points, higher by 82.40 points or 0.73% from the previous close of 11,287.50 points.
