Sensex up by 252 pts at close

NIFTY 5932.40 65.95
SENSEX 19976.23 251.88

The bulls, after staying away from the ring for a better part of the session, staged a dramatic comeback and lifted the market high up into the positive territory in late afternoon trade today.
The negative close on Wall Street and weak Asian markets due to fresh concerns over subprime lending in US did cast a shadow on the Indian bourses when trade commenced this morning.

Though a few frontline stocks, led by State Bank of India, ONGC and Infosys Technologies, managed to find support and posted smart gains in early afternoon trade, it was only during the fag end of the session the bulls decided to swing back into action with great vigor.

The Sensex, which was down with a massive loss of nearly 470 points at 19,255.77 at one stage this morning, vaulted to a high of 20,025.63 in late afternoon trade and ended with a sparkling gain of 251.88 points or 1.28% at 19,976.23. The Nifty, which had tanked to a low of 5714.25, zoomed 1.12% or 65.95 points over its previous closing mark to 5932.40.

State Bank of India (up 8.75% to Rs 2251.75) turned in a sparkling performance and played a stellar role in lifting the sentiment today. Other heavyweights from the banking sector, HDFC Bank (up nearly 5%) and ICICI Bank (2.45%) also finished on a high note.

Reliance Energy (4.8%), ONGC (2.7%), Grasim Industries (2.2%), ITC (2.05%), Infosys Technologies (2.05%) and BHEL (2.05%) posted strong gains. Maruti Suzuki, which remained quite listless today, ended with a sharp gain of 1.8%.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries bounced back into the positive territory a little past mid afternoon and closed with a handsome gain of 1.55% at Rs 2712.70. Tata Motors (1.5%), NTPC (1.2%) and Tata Steel (1%) also closed with notable gains.

Larsen & Toubro, one of the stocks to buck the weak trend this morning, lost its way midway through the session but recovered well during the final hour of trade to close stronger by 0.8%. Hindustan Unilever, Ambuja Cements, Ranbaxy Laboratories and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories posted modest gains. Bajaj Auto and Tata Consultancy Services ended almost unchanged from their previous closing levels.

Bharti Airtel had another weak outing on concerns over the ACC, Satyam Computer Services, HDFC, Wipro, Cipla and Mahindra & Mahindra eased by 1% - 2%. Despite enjoying a bright spell in the positive territory, Reliance Communications ended in the negative territory with a loss of 0.6%. Hindalco closed with a marginal loss.

Reliance Petroleum, Siemens, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Unitech, Punjab National Bank, SAIL and ABB finished with smart gains.
GAIL India, HCL Technologies, Nalco, Hero Honda, GlaxoSmithKline Pharma, Zee Entertainment and VSNL ended with sharp losses.

Besides sector heavyweights State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, a few other bank stocks also closed on a high note today. Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Andhra Bank, Centurion Bank of Punjab, Yes Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Axis Bank, Punjab National Bank, Kotak Bank, Dena Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, UCO Bank, IDBI and Vijaya Bank were among the major gainers from the banking sector.

Fertilizers & Chemicals hit the roof today. National Fertilizers also hit the upper circuit. Dredging Corporation, Engineers India, Spice Telecom, Punjab Lloyd, Hinduja TMT, Mangalore Refineries & Petrochemicals, Bongaigaon Refinery, LIC Housing Finance, Gujarat Minerals, Aventis Pharma and Bharat Forge closed with strong gains.

Ruchi Soya, Kalyani Steel, Adlabs Films, IOL Broadband, IVRCL Infrastructure, JK Cement, JM Financial Services, Gujarat Alkalies, PTC India, Nagarjuna Fertilizers, Geodesic Infosys, Everest Kanto Cylinder and Kirloskar Oil Engines were among the major gainers from the midcap space.
Among smallcaps, Polyplex, Prime Securities, Nocil, Voltamp Transformers, Panchmahal Steel, Sona Koyo, Dolphin Offshore, South Asian Pipes, Ruchi Infrastructure, Hindustan National Glass, Adhunik Metals, Sahara One, Goldiam International, Mercator Lines, Arihant Foundations, Rico Auto, Deepark Fertilizers, Aztec Software, Noida Toll Bridge and Paradyne Infotech gained significant ground.

Following the successful IPO done by Religare Enterprises IPO, Edelweiss Capital Limited is also coming out with an IPO issue through the book building route. Edelweiss Capital Limited is a competitor of Religare Enterprises Limited. Edelweiss Capital IPO opens for subscription on November 15, 2007 and will close for subscription on 20th November 2007. The face value of shares of Edelweiss Capital Limited offered through the proposed IPO would be Rs. 5 each. Edelweiss Capital Limited has fixed the price band for the IPO between Rs. 725 and Rs. 825 per share. Post IPO, the shares of Edelweiss Capital Limited will be listed both on NSE and the BSE. The lead managers for the Edelweiss IPO issue are Kotak Mahindra, Citigroup Global Markets and Lehman Brothers. Intime Spectrum is the registrar for the IPO. CRISIL has given a grading of 4/5 for the Edelweiss Capital Limited IPO. However keep in mind that these ratings don’t make much sense. They only tell investors how the company is placed fundamentally, with respect to its competitors. The rating does not take into account the valuation of Edelweiss IPO. Apparantly, Edelweiss IPO has been priced more aggressively compared to the religare IPO. But in such a strong bull run, no matter how aggressively a company prices its IPO, its bound to get oversubscribed heavily. A decision on whether to apply in the Edelweiss Capital IPO or not can be taken on Nov 20, after looking the Edelweiss IPO subscription details till Nov 19, 20007. For updates on the Edelweiss IPO subscription details and Edelweiss IPO allotment status do visit this site often.

Notwithstanding a positive start - the US Federal Reserve's decision to cut bank rates by 25 basis points had buoyed up the mood in early trade - the market struggled almost right through the session today as participants appeared somewhat clueless once again about the near term impact of the hike in CRR and restrictions on Participatory Notes on the market.

Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, Satyam Computer Services, Wipro and Grasim Industries lost 1% - 2%. Ambuja Cements, which moved in a very narrow range, settled with a loss of 0.55%.
VSNL, MTNL, Siemens, Hero Honda, Zee Entertainment, Nalco, Unitech, HCL Technologies, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, GAIL India and SAIL closed with sharp losses today. Punjab National Bank, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Tata Power and ABB posted smart gains.
Midcap stocks reeled under a severe bout of pressure in afternoon trade and mirroring the sharp fall in values of stocks in that space, the BSE Midcap index tumbled 2.07% today. Reflecting the sell-off in smallcap stocks, the BSE Smallcap index fell 1.53% to 9646.61.
Among the sectoral indices, the FMCG index suffered the most. It lost as much as 4.16% today. The Realty index closed lower by 2.96%. The Auto, CD, Metal, Oil & Gas and Teck indices eased by 1% - 2.25% while the Healthcare index drifted down by 0.46%. BSE IT closed with a minor loss.
With a few frontline stocks from capital goods and banking sectors faring impressively, the BSE CG and Bankex moved up by 1.75% and 1.84% respectively. The PSU index settled with a gain of 0.77%.
The market breadth turned highly negative today. Out of 2815 stocks traded on BSE, as many as 1817 stocks closed in the negative territory. 944 stocks posted gains and 54 stocks ended unchanged from their previous closing levels.
