The market sustained its weekly gaining streak for the seventh straight week as the benchmark Sensex settled at a six-month high of 11,329.05 at the weekend on several positive developments amid on-going Parliamentary elections in the country.In the week to April 25, the Bombay Stock Exchange 30-share barometer bounced from its weekly low of 10,715.66 and ended with a net gain of 305.96 points, or 2.78 per cent, over its last weekend’s close.
Similarly, the National Stock Exchange 50-share Nifty also jumped by 96.35 points, or 2.85 per cent, to end the week at 3,480.75 from its last close.
Brokers said Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained the net buyers in the week and are expected to step up their activity in the coming days as the April series of derivatives expires on Thursday.
They said bull operators are likely to cover their shorts or rollover nifty positions in the next series in the light of possibility of further reduction in interest rates as the inflation remained at 0.26 per cent for the week ended April 11, 2009.
