US stocks snapped a five-day losing streak on Wednesday on optimism that a government plan to rescue ailing bond insurers is taking shape and could prevent billions more in credit losses. The market also drew support from growing confidence that aggressive interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could help stabilize the economy and support the beleaguered banking sector. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 298.98 points, or 2.5% at 12,270.17, after plunging almost 350 points in early trade.

Back home, the market had bounced back on Wednesday, 23 January 2008, after a bloodbath witnessed on the street in the previous two trading sessions when share prices had declined like nine pins. US Federal Reserve came to the rescue cutting key US interest rates by a steep 75 basis points to 3.5% late on Tuesday, 22 January 2008, after Indian markets had closed. The US central bank's move followed two days of steep losses in Asian and European equities on worries that a deteriorating US economy would drag other regions down with it. The US economy has been hit hard by rising defaults in the sub-prime mortgage sector in which Americans with bad credit records are struggling to pay back housing loans given to them during the housing boom.
Margin calls had created havoc on the Indian bourses in causing a steep decline in share prices that was initially triggered by a setback in global markets and selling by foreign institutional investors. The BSE Sensex had tumbled 2283.76 points or 12.01% to 16,729.94 on Tuesday, 22 January 2008 from its close of 19,013.70 on Friday, 18 January 2008.
Margin trading is where investors trade shares without paying the full cost of the share. Instead a margin or percentage is paid as collateral, and when the market moves against the investor, the margin needs to be topped up. If the investor does not make payment, the shares can be sold by the broker. A margin call is also triggered when shares that an investor had bought with borrowed money decrease in value. If the investor is not able to put up additional margin, the broker/financer will resort to sale of shares.

India's Sensex Snaps Seven-Day Losing

NSE 5203.40 +304.10
BSE 17594.07 +864.13


The sharp 75 basis point cut in US bank rate and the splendid recovery on the Asian bourses brought the bulls back to the ring, and with a number of blue chip stocks holding firm right through the session, the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty cruised along merrily and snapped a seven session losing streak today.
Realty stocks, which had taken a severe beating over the last two sessions, ended on a high note. Frenzied buying was seen in oil, power, bank, FMCG and metal sectors as well. Information technology, auto, healthcare and PSU stocks also made smart progress.
The Sensex, which was up with a whopping gain of 1267 points at 17,997.11 at one stage this afternoon (this is the barometer's biggest ever intra-day surge), ended the day at 17,594.07, up 864.13 points or 5.17% over its previous closing mark. The Nifty closed with a gain of 6.21% or 374.10 points at 5203.40. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty touched a high of 5328.05.
Reliance Energy (15.95%) was the biggest gainer from the Sensex pack. NTPC closed stronger by around 13.75%. Software stock Satyam Computer Services which had weathered the storm quite admirably yesterday, ended with a strong gain of 10.85%.
State Bank of India notched up a gain of 8.6%. Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services and BHEL gained 8.35%, 8.5% and 8.1% respectively.

ACC, Ambuja Cements, Cipla, Hindustan Unilever, HDFC, ICICI Bank, Infosys Technologies, Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, ONGC, Ranbaxy Laboratories, Tata Motors and Tata Steel also ended on a high note. Wipro bounced back from lower levels and closed with a modest gain. Bharti Airtel (down 0.3%) was the only stock from Sensex to end on a negative note today.
Tata Power, Reliance Petroleum, SAIL, Unitech, Punjab National Bank and GAIL India finished with hefty gains. Suzlon Energy, Zee Entertainment, Cairn India, Sterlite Industries, VSNL, ABB, BPCL, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Hero Honda and HCL Technologies also ended with handsome gains.
Idea Cellular closed with a sharp loss of 4.3%. Nalco, which enjoyed a bright spell yesterday, ended 3.1% down at Rs 415.25.
Besides large cap stocks, several midcap stocks also had a fine run today. Smallcaps, which opened on a subdued note, bounced back strongly in afternoon trade. A few of them posted impressive gains.
The market breadth was almost neutral when trade ended today. Out of 2722 stocks traded on BSE, 1301 stocks finished with gains. 1400 stocks closed on a negative note and 21 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.
