Sensex moves up 75 points on sustained buying - Hindu Business Line

Mumbai, Nov 21:  The stock markets had a lacklustre opening on Wednesday following muted global cues and investor caution ahead of the crucial winter session of Parliament that begins tomorrow. The BSE Sensex opened the day at 18,380 while the NSE Nifty opened at 5,583. At 12.50 p.m., the Sensex was trading up 75.53 points or 0.41 per cent at 18,404.85 while the Nifty was up 19.10 points or 0.34 per cent at 5,590.55. Consumer Durables (up 1.21%), FMCG (+0.90%) and Realty (+0.74%) supported the Sensex. Power (-0.50%), PSU (-0.21%) and Capital Goods (-0.19%) were the top losers during the session. The top gainers on the Sensex were Sun Pharma (+1.98%), Jindal Steel (+1.94%) and Cipla (+1.65%). The major losers were BHEL (-1.69%), Bharti Airtel (-1.31%) and NTPC (-1.55%). The volume toppers were SBI, Cipla, RIL, L&T and ICICI Bank. Globally US markets cut their losses to finish flat in a choppy trading session and European markets ended higher on hopes of more cash for Greece. Asian stocks closed firm but erased gains on opening after policy makers meet in Brussels failed to reach a decision on assisting Greece and as investors refocused on the risk of a US fiscal crisis following Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's remarks that the budget impasse was already damaging growth. via Business - Google News
