Mumbai: Market benchmark Sensex inched up by 17 points to close at 28,351.62 on Monday, while the NSE Nifty went past the 8,800 mark on fag-end buying in IT, metal and power stocks amid positive global cues. The 30-share Sensex resumed higher at 28,450.42 and advanced to 28,458.80 following initial buying by investors and sustained foreign fund inflows.

However, profit-booking took a toll, and the index slipped to touch a low of 28,197.38 before settling 17.37 points, or 0.06% higher at 28,351.62. The gauge has gained 44.33 points in the previous two sessions.

BSE benchmark Sensex surged over 126 points and NSE Nifty reclaimed the 8,800-level in early trade on Friday as domestic investors and foreign funds indulged in sustained buying ahead of key industrial output numbers to be released later in the day.

Besides, better-than-expected earnings by some more companies also fuelled the positive sentiment.

Weak global cues and eyes on the Indian central bank's move in the last monetary policy of the fiscal kept the markets subdued in early trade on Tuesday.

The BSE Sensex was over 45 points down in early trade. However, at 0949hours, it had recovered slightly and was trading at 28,412.27, down 27.01 points or 0.09% from previous close. The National Stock Exchange Nifty was down 13.60 points or 0.15% at 8,787.45 from previous close.

BSE Ltd, the first listing of the new year 2017, opened for trading at Rs 1,085, a stellar 34.6% premium to its offer price of Rs 806 per share. The shares of India’s first stock exchange to be listed soon soared further, and were trading at up 1,111.3, after hitting a high of Rs 1,200.

The first mega IPO of the year had got an overwhelming response with an oversubscription of over 50 times the issue size.

Mumbai: The post-Budget climb went on for the third day as the Sensex managed to close at 28,241 with a minuscule gain after a monthly survey suggested that Reserve Bank has much headroom to stay accommodative in its policy meet next week.

Aided by banking and healthcare stocks, the 30-share Sensex moved sideways for much of the session before settling at 28,240.52, up 13.91 points, or 0.05%. The previous two sessions have seen a rally of 570.65 points after the Union Budget was greeted positively by investors. The 50-share NSE Nifty settled at 8,740.95, up 6.70 points, or 0.08%.

New Delhi: Vikram Limaye will be the new managing director and chief executive officer (MD and CEO) of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter. Limaye was chosen by a selection panel and his appointment approved by the board of India’s largest stock exchange on Friday, they said.

The appointment of Limaye, 50, currently CEO and MD of IDFC Ltd, an infrastructure financing firm, will have to be cleared by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the people said on condition of anonymity.

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) stock made a strong debut on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Friday with the scrip opening at Rs 1,089 up a remarkable 35% over the issue price of Rs 806. The stock gained as much as 48% intra-day after the R1,234.4 crore initial public offer (IPO) was subscribed more than 51 times when it closed last week. “The issue has got great response. However, investors should first read about BSE and if they are convinced about the business model then only one should invest,” said Ashish Chauhan, MD and CEO of the bourse.

BSE, which recently concluded its Rs 1,243-crore initial public offering, will list on rival National Stock Exchange (NSE) today.

BSE's stock listed at Rs 1,085/ share versus the issue price of Rs 806 a piece. The stock jumped nearly 48% in early trade on NSE.

MUMBAI: The Budget rally entered the second day on Thursday after the sensex closed at nearly a 4-month high of 28,227, driven by healthcare, IT and auto stocks amid mixed global shares.

Indian benchmark indices opened on a cautious note ahead of the Union Budget 2016-17 due later today, waiting to watch the proposals which would set the course of the markets in the coming days.
