Stock Market Today: Key benchmark indices were seen trading on a fairly volatile note on Friday, with some buying seen in auto and financial shares and weakness in IT stocks.
The S&P BSE Sensex touched a low of 66,185 in opening deals, but soon rallied to a high of 66,418 – and was up 50-odd points at 66,275. The NSE Nifty was seen testing the 19,750 level.
Among the Sensex 30 stocks, SBI rallied nearly 2 per cent. Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, IndusInd Bank and Larsen & Toubro were the other major gainers. Whereas, on the other hand, Sun Pharma, PowerGrid and Wipro declined around a per cent each.
In the broader market, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices were up 0.2 per cent each.
Meanwhile, in a positive development to India’s debt market, JPMorgan will add Indian government bonds to its benchmark emerging-market index, a keenly awaited event that could drive billions of foreign inflows.
