DSIJ Mindshare

On Thursday, the domestic benchmark indices closed on a positive note taking cues from FII buying, which helped them to handle the downward pressure from global markets. 

The shares of Jayant Infratech were seen getting locked in the upper circuit during Thursday's trading session as the market traded with a positive bias.  

On Wednesday, Indian equity benchmarks jumped clocking gains across sectors taking cues from strength across global markets as robust corporate earnings in the US relaxed investors' minds about slowing growth due to steep hikes in interest rates. Oil & gas, financial, IT, and auto shares turned out to be the biggest thrusts lifting the headline indices.

Recording gains in PSU and select private banks, financial services, and select heavyweight stocks, the benchmark indices closed higher rising towards the end of Tuesday's trading session. Sensex was up 246.47 points or 0.45 per cent at 54,767.62 level whereas Nifty gained 62 points or 0.38 per cent at 16,340.50 level. 

On the last day of the week, benchmark indices zoomed towards the end of the session, closing higher for the first time this week.  Sensex advanced 344.63 points while Nifty gained 116.25 points at the close.
