INDIAN EQUITY MARKET WRAP UP - 26 APR 2016

INDIAN BENCHMARKS: SENSEX MAKES SMART RECOVERY TO END UP 328 POINTS HIGHER, NIFTY 50 HOLDS ABOVE 7950

All through the first half of the session, the domestic market remained sluggish and traded with losses. The benchmark indices picked up pace immediately after Maruti Suzuki 3.62 % announced its March quarter numbers.

The country's largest carmaker didn't report stellar numbers; Q4 profit after tax fell 12 per cent to Rs 1,130 crore. But the earnings were not as bad as expected which helped the stock gain and also the key indices. This also gave confidence to domestic equity investors.

Crude prices surged in global markets. Brent oil futures for July delivery were trading at $44.77 per barrel, up 1.02 per cent (at the time of writing this report).

All of this led the S&P BSE Sensex to end 1.28 per cent or 328.37 points higher at 26,007.30. The BSE's 30-share barometer swung as much as 500.95 points in intra-day trade. It ended above 26,000 for the first time since January 1, 2016. Its broader market counterpart on the NSE closed at 7,962.65, up 1.37 per cent or 107.6 points.
