Stock market highlights: 
An eventful day for the markets, where the benchmark Nifty50 index reclaimed the 16,000-mark in the intra-day trade for the first time since June 10, met with an anti-climatic end.

PowerGrid, Shree Cement, Apollo Hospitals, Hindalco, Bajaj Finserv, ONGC, Tata Motors, and HUL were the top gainers on the 50-pack index, while ITC, Wipro, HDFC Life, Britannia Industries, Maruti Suzuki, and M&M were the top draggers.

Overall, the Nifty Metal index was the best performing sectoral index today, up 0.3 per cent. On the flipside, the Nifty IT index slipped 0.7 per cent.

In the broader markets. the BSE MidCap index fell 0.4 per cent, but the BSE SmallCap inde rose by 0.2 per cent. Little over 1,700 stocks advanced on the BSE today, as against around 1,570 stocks that closed in the red.

Nifty tech view: Trend may remain positive as long as index sustains above 15,800

Despite the selling, the Nifty held above the near-term moving averages.

The trend is likely to remain positive as long as it sustains above 15800. On the higher end resistance is visible at 16000/16200.
