Let us take a quick glance at what happened on the Dalal Street today.
Battered banking stocks rebounded on Thursday, sending key benchmark indices up about 1 per cent each. Sensex breached the 50K mark and closed 521 points higher. Nifty ended the day above 14,000 level. Gains for domestic stocks were in line with global markets that welcomed US govt’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Investors chose to ignore over 72,0oo daily cases recorded in the last 24 hours and also lockdowns in France.
Fear gauge India VIX eased 3 per cent.
Among Sensex stocks, IndusInd Bank, Ultratech Cement, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finance, ONGC and Sun Pharma gained 2-4 per cent. FMCG stocks HUL and Nestle India and IT major TCS ended lower.
