Nifty breaches 8000-mark for first time, Sensex hits new peak; top 20 bets - Economic Times

Leave a Comment
NEW DELHI: The 50-share Nifty Index managed to scale past its crucial psychological level of 8000 for the first time in trade on Monday and BSE Sensex logged a new peak of 26,854.08 on the back of positive economic growth data for the April-June quarter.

India's economy expanded at its fastest pace in more than two years in the April-June quarter. India's GDP grew at 5.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2014-15, exceeding expectations.


Analysts at top brokerage firms are of the view that corporate earnings and markets are set to double in the next 4 years, BofA-ML said in a report on Monday.


"We continue to reinforce our message that earnings are set to double over next 4 years to FY18 and market returns could mirror earnings growth," said Jyotivardhan Jaipuria, Research Analyst at DSP Merrill Lynch (India) and Anand Kumar of DSP Merrill Lynch.


"We continue to be bullish in the long-term on the Indian market and believe that buying on dips is a particularly compelling strategy. Our bullishness is driven by the bottoming of the earnings cycle," added Jaipuria.


At 12:00 p.m.; BSE Sensex was trading 180 points higher at 26819.76. It hit a fresh record high 26854.08 and a low of 26732.39 in trade today.


The Nifty was at 8012 up 58 points or 0.73 per cent. It touched an intraday high of 8022.70 and a low of 7,984.00 in trade today.
