| The market breadth was very positive last week with most of the Sensex stocks closing the week in a positive territory. Of the 30 Sensex stocks, 26 closed with gains. Despite the volatility at the counter, Reliance Industries, the stock with the highest weightage in the Sensex, led the way. |
| |
| The stock gained 3.25 per cent to close at Rs 725.75. The gains in the stock contributed 28.54 points to the overall index. ITC, Ranbaxy and Tata Steel were the other major gainers. |
| |
| The gains in these counters added 44.44 points to the index. On the downside, profit-booking in ICICI Bank (down 6.70 per cent at Rs 500.10) led to 43.15 points being taken away from the index. The declines in other counters were limited. |

All the sectoral indices except the BSE Bankex ended the week in positive territory. The BSE Consumer Durables Index (up 7.20 per cent) and the BSE Metal Index (6.6 per cent) were the biggest gainers of the week.
