Sensex rises 132 points in early trade
MUMBAI: The BSE benchmark sensex
rose over 132 points in early trade on Monday, extending gains for the
fourth day in a row on sustained buying by funds as well as retail
investors, largely in tandem with a firming trend on other Asian
bourses.
However, the country's slowing economic growth, which slipped to 4.4%, restricted the gains.
The 30-share barometer gained 132.65 points, or 0.71%, to trade at 18,752.37 points in early trade with PSUs, banking, FMCG, metal and consumer durables sector stocks leading the rally. It had rallied by nearly 652 points in the past three sessions.
Similarly, the wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty moved up by 26.35 points, or 0.48%, to 5,498.15.
Brokers said reports of a firming trend on other Asian bourses on the back of strong manufacturing data from China mainly influenced the trading sentiments here but country's slowing economic growth in April-June quarter, restricted gains.
The country's economic growth rate in the April-June quarter of current fiscal slipped to 4.4%, the slowest in at least four years.
In the Asian region, the Japan's Nikkei rose 0.37%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained one% in early trade.
The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.21% lower in Friday's trade. ................................................................
