Sensex ends 116 pts higher; Realty Index surges 5.6%
30 Nov 2010
Equity benchmarks maintained their uptrend for second consecutive day, led by heavyweights like SBI, Bharti Airtel, NTPC, DLF, Tata Motors, BHEL, TCS and ITC. The 50-share NSE Nifty recovered nearly 100 points from day's low to end at 5,863.35, up 0.57%.
The markets were down more than one percent in first half of trade on negative Asian cues and profit booking but indices turned positive in second half of trade; short covering could be one reason.
Realty stocks were completely on buyers' radar, especially after comments from management of DB Realty; respective index shot up 5.6%. However, heavyweight Reliance Industries wiped out some gains in last one hour of trade as its sources told CNBC-TV18 that company's topline will be hit by declining production at KGD1D3.
The 30-share BSE Sensex closed at 19,522.87, up 117.77 points or 0.61%.
