NIFTY 5327.25 242.15

The stock market barometer Sensex on Tuesday surged by a record 789 points to cross the 18,000-point milestone as investors took heart from the improbability of snap polls and bought heavily in frontline stocks led by Reliance Industries.

reliance industries ltd. 2600.00 7.38 %

The market set several new records including the biggest single day gain of 789 points at close, as well as the largest intra-day gains of 993 points in absolute term. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) benchmark Sensex also recorded the second fastest 1,000-point journey from 17K to 18K in nine trading sessions. The fastest 1,000-point journey was achieved in six sessions between 16K and 17K last month.

The news that the Left-UPA committee on the nuclear deal will meet on October 22 only indicated that the Congress-led UPA government at the centre and its communist allies have stepped back from Tuesday's political stalemate, sparking off a huge price rally across-the-board. While the Left parties claimed they had persuaded the government from going ahead with the deal, there was no word from the government. However, RJD chief and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad said: "The government is not falling. There will be no snap poll."

The BSE barometer ended the day at a new closing peak of 18,280.24, a net rise of 788.85 points or 4.51 per cent over yesterday's close of 17,491.39. It also touched new intra-day high of 18,327.42. The broader S&P CNX Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) also flared up to an all-time trading high of 5,348.70 before closing at a new peak of 5,327.25 from previous close of 5,085.10, a net gain of 242.15 points or 4.76 per cent.
