Domestic equity markets ended first week of July in the green after the Economic Survey projected Indias economic growth rebounding from a five-year low to 7 per cent this fiscal. Softening crude oil prices and the US-China trade war truce also calmed investor nerves globally.
As a result, the benchmark BSE Sensex added 118.75 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 39,513 for the week ended July 5. Likewise, the NSE Nifty index inched higher by 22.30 points, or 0.19 per cent to 11,811 during the same period.
Overall, the market kicked off the week on a positive note after RBI relaxed the leverage ratio for banks to help them boost their lending activities. Market participants remained optimistic despite domestic manufacturing sector losing growth momentum in the month of June. The Economic Survey painted a rosy picture for D-Street which further fuelled the sentiments till Thursday.
However, Sensex and Nifty pared most of their gains on Friday as Budget proposals failed to enthuse investor sentiment. What further dented the confidence was — rating agency Moodys comments which said there are risks of India missing 3.3 per cent fiscal deficit target for the current financial year if tax revenue falls short of the projection.
Below are the top stocks and sectors that buzzed through the whole week.
