After a subdued opening trade the markets are now trading range bound. The MidCap and SmallCap stocks had outperformed the benchmark indices during the preceding trading sessions and therefore today these stocks are facing some profit booking pressures. On a broader level the sentiments are very lethargic amidst lack of supportive news from other markets.
Market moved alternately between positive and negative zones. After hitting a fresh intraday low, the markets pared losses with marginal upside movement in mid-morning trade.
On the sectoral front, traders off-loaded positions across the sectors except IT, CD and HC Indices. Oil&Gas stocks retreated on reports the new UPA government plants to cap profits of crude oil production as part of a transparent and sustainable subsidy-sharing system for the sector.
IT stocks grew as rupee cooled off after a recent solid surge. Capital goods stocks advanced on expectations of increased infrastructure spending by the UPA government to boost growth. Auto stocks melt down on concerns a partial decontrol of petrol and diesel prices will result in an immediate rise in petrol and diesel prices. Metal stocks grew on a solid surge in copper prices this year.
