Sensex snaps winning streak, loses 74 pts at close: Sify,India
Sify India
It was a sluggish session for several blue chip stocks on the major Indian bourses today as participants stayed wary of building up positions due to lack of triggers. A few front line stocks did manage to garner support and posted smart gains, but then, save for a brief while this morning, it was a rather choppy journey for the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty today.
While the Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of over 100 points at 19,707.86 - it remained its high for the session - but tumbled to 19,482.34 in late afternoon trade, ended with a loss of 73.91 points or 0.38% at 19,529.50, the Nifty settled 0.11% or 6.65 points down at 5858.35. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty touched a high of 5897.25 and a low of 5840.30.
Midcap and Smallcap stocks, however, had a fairly bright outing once again. Mirroring investor interest for these stocks, the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices climbed up 1.6% and 1.58% respectively. Reliance Industries (down 2.3%), Tata Consultancy Services (down 2.2%), ICICI Bank (down2.1%), Satyam Computer Services (down1.55%), ONGC (down 1.25%) and Ranbaxy Laboratories (down 1.1%) took a severe beating in late afternoon trade.
Grasim Industries, Bharti Airtel, HDFC, Maruti Suzuki, Reliance Energy, NTPC, ACC, State Bank of India and Bajaj Auto eased by 0.25% - 1%. Cipla ended with a marginal loss at Rs 184.80. Reliance Communications ended at its previous closing price.
A host of stocks from the metal space, led by Tata Steel (4.1%), surged higher and lifted the Metal index up by nearly 3.25% today. Hindalco, which remained somewhat subdued for a better part of the session, ended with a gain of 1.15%. SAIL shot up by 8.55% to Rs 284.90. Maharashtra Seamless vaulted 12.4% to Rs 574.10. Jindal Steel jumped 9.3% on strong volumes.
Jindal Stainless, Shree Precoated Steels, Sesa Goa, JSW Steel, Gujarat NRE Coke, Bhushan Steel and Jindal Saw gained smart ground. Ispat Industries edged up by around 0.75%. Mahindra & Mahindra ended with a handsome gain of 2.8%. BHEL closed 2% up at Rs 2815.40. Ambuja Cements, which opened on a high note, lost its way sometime past mid afternoon, but bounced back a bit to close with a sharp gain of 1.25%. Larsen & Toubro gained 1.25%.
Infosys Technologies, Tata Motors and Wipro also finished with notable gains. ITC, Hindustan Unilever and HDFC Bank edged up marginally. DLF opened well but pared its gains and ended little changed from its previous closing price.
VSNL, Unitech, Reliance Petroleum, Sterlite Industries, Hero Honda, GlaxoSmithKline Pharma, HCL Technologies and Sun Pharmaceuticals ended with sharp losses. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and BPCL moved up by 4.25% and 4.15% respectively. Tata Power, GAIL India, MTNL, Siemens and Punjab National Bank also closed with impressive gains.
Chambal Fertilizers, Mico, Godrej Consumer Products, Ingersoll Rand, Puravankara Projects, IVR Prime, Mangalore Refineries & Petrochemicals, Indian Oil Corporation, J&K Bank, Ashok Leyland, Tata Tea, Chennai Petroleum Corporation, Bombay Dyeing, Alstom Projects, Gujarat Minerals and National Fertilizers closed with strong gains today.
Wire & Wireless, which flared up by 22.65% to Rs 86.10, was the biggest gainers in the Midcap index. Jain Irrigation Systems shot up by 19.15%. Essar Steel zoomed 18%. Educomp Solutions, Adlabs Films, Essar Shipping, Mahindra Life, M&M Financial Services, Dalmia Cement (Bharat), Ruchi Soya, Bata India, NIIT, Ansal Infrastructure and Yes Bank were among the other big gainers from the midcap space.
Everonn Systems, Aegis Logistics, Techno Electric Engineering, Jindal South West Holdings, C&C Constructions, MCD Holdings, Kemrock, Kewal Kiran, Crew BOS, Varun Shipping, Nitin Fire Protection Equipments, Inox Leisure, Hindustan National Glass, Zuari Industries, Adhunik Metals and Raj Television were among the big gainers from the smallcap index.
Essar Oil (up 2.4%) was the turnover topper once again. On the National Stock Exchange, the Essar Oil counter recorded a turnover of nearly Rs 1075 crore today. Around 35.19 million shares were transacted at the Essar Oil counter on NSE. Shares of Mundra Port & Special Economic Zone were also in demand. The stock gained nearly 8.25% on NSE today on a strong volume of 4.85 million shares. IFCI also figured in the most active securities list. However, the stock was at the receiving end today. It lost 2.25% as it settled at Rs 104.35.
Though the premier indices ended in the red today, the market breadth was positive thanks to strong buying in midcap and smallcap stocks. Out of 2864 stocks traded on BSE, 1934 stocks surged higher. 878 stocks closed in the negative territory and 52 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.

Reliance, Tatas among 100 global challengers: Economic Times
Larsen and Toubro, Suzlon and Bharat Forge may be names not big enough on the global arena as of now, but they along with domestic giants like Tatas, Birla, Mahindra and Ambanis figure among 100 firms posing an "urgent threat to industry leaders" of the world.
According to a new list of 100 New Global Challenger Giants released here today by Boston Consulting Group, India is home to 20 such firms, next only China that accounts for 41. Tata Group alone accounts for one-fourth of Indian participation with five companies -- Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Tea and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) -- figuring in the list.
Reliance Group, IT giants Infosys, Wipro and Satyam, automakers Bajaj Auto and Mahindra & Mahindra, pharma majors Ranbaxy, Dr Reddy's Labs and Cipla, Aditya Birla group's Hindalco Industries, L&T, Bharat Forge and Crompton Greaves are also on the list. These new global challengers from rapidly developing economies are globalising so quickly that they pose an urgent threat to the industry leaders globally, the US-based management consultancy major said in an accompanying report.
BCG said that 17 new companies have joined the annual list of 100 emerging giants, including one from India -- Suzlon Energy. These are the firms "that are growing fast, globalising aggressively, and reshaping global industries," it noted. "With over 1.2 trillion dollars in total revenues and more than a half trillion dollars in yearly purchases, the BCG New Global Challengers are already formidable. But their ambitions are daunting... their combined revenues will reach 3.3 trillion dollars by 2010 and a massive 11.8 trillion dollars by 2015,"

Sensex ends 240 pts up : Sify Finance
Global cues were not that prominent and there were no great triggers on the domestic front as well. But then, some stock specific stories proved strong enough motivation for the bulls to stay glued to the ring today. A sharp decline in crude oil prices did aid the sentiment to an extent.
So stubborn were the bulls that the market, which opened with a big positive gap, had an uninterrupted stay in the positive territory and had no difficulty in signing off on a high note today. While the Sensex ended the day with a gain of 1.24% or 240.22 points at 19,603.41, the Nifty posted a gain of 1.77% or 102.25 points at 5865.
Power, oil, metal, capital goods, information technology and auto stocks surged higher. Consumer durables sector saw some spirited buying. Select pharma and FMCG stocks had a good outing as well. Bank stocks turned in a lacklustre performance. Reliance Energy powered its way ahead thanks to the company's plans to infuse Rs 8,000 crore over the next couple of years to increase capacity. The stock, among the most actively traded scrips today, ended the session with a hefty gain of 9.35% at Rs 1900.15. IT major Wipro rallied 7.2% to Rs 493.40 on strong buying support. Reliance Communications jumped 5.5% to Rs 711.80.
Tata Consultancy Services (3.85%), Hindalco (3.4%), BHEL (3.05%), Reliance Industries (2.9%), Mahindra & Mahindra (2.65%), Bajaj Auto (2.5%), Maruti Suzuki (2%), Satyam Computer Services (1.85%), Tata Steel (1.6%) and ITC (1.45%) also contributed significantly to the market's buoyant close today.
Ambuja Cements, NTPC, Ranbaxy Laboratories, Grasim Industries, Larsen & Toubro and State Bank of India moved up by 1% - 1.5%. Cipla and Tata Motors closed with modest gains. DLF ended 0.3% up while ACC and ONGC settled with small gains.
IT bellwether Infosys Technologies, which moved in a very tight band today, closed with a marginal loss at Rs 1600.70. Hindustan Unilever lost 0.45%. HDFC Bank (down 1%), HDFC (down 1.35%), Bharti Airtel (down 1.6%) and ICICI Bank (down 1.6%) were seen struggling almost right through the session today.
Tata Power closed with a big gain of 8%. Zee Entertainment spurted 5.55%. Sterlite Industries gained 4.6%. BPCL, VSNL, Punjab National Bank, Unitech and ABB went up by 3% - 4.5% today. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (2.5%), Reliance Petroleum (2.5%), MTNL (2.05%), SAIL (1.6%), GlaxoSmithKline Pharma (1.55%) and Siemens (1.4%) also garnered attention.
