The market bounced back during final hours of trading to close with marginal gains. Domestic market had opened lower due to weak cues from US markets due to a rise in unemployment and poor retail figures. The number of first time claims filed in the week ending 2nd August 2008, rose by 7,000 to 455,000, the highest level since March 2002. Along with this results from US retailers including Wal-Mart have shown disappointing sales for July and an increase in crude oil price above $120 a barrel also adds to the sentiments. The market showed a lot of volatility soon after the start as annual inflation rate crossed 12% mark for first time in 13 years. Inflation stood at 12.01% for the week ended 26th July 2008, up from 11.98% for the previous week. The market after remaining in negative territory for a long time, moved up in positive territory during the closing hours, on the back of buying interest in Metal, Bank and Consumer Goods indices. NSE Nifty ended above 4,500 mark and BSE Sensex above 15,100 level. Market traded weak as selling pressure was seen in rate sensitive stocks like Realty, and IT. From the sectoral front, Metal, Consumer Goods and Bank stocks were able to gather the buying momentum. However, IT and Reality stocks remained out of favor as most of the selling was seen from these baskets. The market breadth negative as 1323 stocks closed in green while 1405 stocks closed in red and 71 stocks remained unchanged.
