| PTI Mumbai Last Updated: April 27, 2013 | 00:00 IST Despite tail-end selling in view of cautious approach by investors, both S&P BSE benchmark Sensex and NSE Nifty gained for the second straight week on persistent buying mainly in rate-sensitive sectors on hopes of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India next week. Brokers said the sentiment was bolstered expectations that easing inflation and weak commodity prices might prompt the central bank to cut interest rate in an aggressive manner in its monetary policy meeting on May 3. Persistent capital inflows from foreign funds also boosted the market sentiment. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have invested Rs 3,045.95 crore during the current week, including the provisional figure of April 26. IT stocks like Wipro, Infosy and TCS saw selling on muted growth prospects.
