The domestic benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty continued their winning streak to a fifth straight session on Tuesday session, finishing at new closing highs amid encouraging global cues as the dollar traded close to a one-year low.
The Nifty ended the day at 19,749.25, up 38 points or 0.19 percent, while the Sensex ended the day 205 points, or 0.31 percent, higher at 66,795.14.
“The bulls continued to lift the market to new heights, but volatility emerged in the second half due to concerns over valuation. Rapid fall in the dollar index and a slide in the US 10-year yield is supporting liquidity in emerging markets. While disappointing economic growth in China and improvement in the US market outlook are drawing attention to the Indian market with the IT sector as the contra bet,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Mid and smallcaps underperformed the benchmark indices, ending the day lower. The BSE Smallcap index ended with a fall of 0.47% at 33,828.59 and the BSE Midcap index finished 0.18% lower at 29,423.02. After reaching a new record high of 34,163.42 during the session, the BSE Smallcap index lost all of its gains and finished down.
In intraday trade on the BSE, more than 200 equities, including Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Colgate Palmolive India, Ashok Leyland, Apollo Hospitals, and United Spirits, touched new 52-week highs.
