MUMBAI: The benchmark BSE Sensex surged over 90 points in early trade today, extending its rally to the fourth straight session on continued buying by domestic institutional investors amid expectations of positive GDP data to be released later in the day.

MUMBAI: The benchmark BSE Sensex climbed 109 points early on Tuesday after investors buying gained steam amid mixed Asian cues.

The 30-share index was trading higher by 108.84 points, or 0.41 per cent, at 26,459.01, with sectoral indices led by metal, oil & gas, PSU, consumer durables, capital goods and realty stocks trading in the positive zone, rising by up to 1.10 per cent.

The BSE Sensex and National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty opened on a positive note on Friday, tracking strength in the global markets.

According to a report by Angel Broking, the "Indian market was expected to open on a positive note tracking the SGX Nifty."

After rising for two back-to-back sessions, the stock market turned weak as the benchmark Sensex fell nearly 146 points and the NSE Nifty hung below the 8,000-mark in early trade on Thursday, with participants liquidating positions in view of November month derivatives expiry.

Besides, weak Asian cues as upbeat economic data strengthened prospect of higher US interest rates and the continued free-fall of the rupee against the American currency weighed on sentiment, brokers said.

Mumbai: Indian shares on Tuesday bounced back from six-month lows hit in the previous session, led by IT and auto stocks, with sentiment turning positive as Asian shares rallied after all three major US stock indexes hit record highs.

Asian shares were also lifted as crude prices touched their highest for the month after comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the odds of a freeze in oil production. The benchmark BSE Sensex was headed for its first gain in seven sessions, while the broader NSE Nifty was headed for its first winning session in four.

In early trade, the benchmark BSE Sensex rebounded over 120 points and the NSE Nifty regained the 8,100-mark in the opening trade today on value-buying in select blue-chips amid a firming trend on other Asian bourses. Besides, covering-up of short positions by speculators supported the recovery. The 30-share index was trading higher by 120.02 points, or 0.45%, at 26,270.45 with sectoral indices led by oil&gas, metal and PSU leading the recovery.

Mumbai: Indian shares ended lower on Friday, after fluctuating earlier in the session, as overall sentiment remained dented after US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen signalled an interest rate hike was imminent, while investors back home were worried about the government’s move to remove high-value notes. The gauge had plunged by 1,290.06 points in the previous four sessions.

Jet Airways (India) extended losses to hit a 52-week low of Rs 362, down 3% on BSE in intra-day trade, after it reported a disappointing set of numbers for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 (Q2FY17).

The company reported a flat consolidated net profit at Rs 85 crore in Q2FY16 against Rs 83 crore in Q2FY16. Total revenues grew 3.2% at Rs 5,682 crore on YoY basis.

After a strong opening, BSE benchmark Sensex trimmed initial gains but was still trading higher by 173 points in late morning trade, helped by fresh buying in IT, teck, auto, power and telecom sectors amid positive global cues.

However, sustained selling was seen in consumer durables, capital goods, metal and FMCG stocks.

Mumbai: Markets took another blow today as the Sensex plunged over 514 points to end at nearly 6-month low of 26,305 while the Nifty cracked below 8,200 mark on concerns about outflows amid surging US yields and the dollar gathering more steam. Currency market was hit hard, with the rupee down 57 paise to a five-month low of 67.82 against the US currency during the day.
