When the week started, it looked like the market has enough strength to push benchmark indices above crucial resistance levels, but bears took control in the second half of the week and pushed Sensex below 38,000 while Nifty50 closed below 11,200 levels.
The S&P BSE Sensex wiped out gains made in the
week gone by and closed with a minor cut of 0.4 percent while the Nifty50 fell
0.3 percent for the week ended August 14.
The real action was seen in the broader market
space which outperformed the benchmark indices. The S&P BSE Mid-cap index
rose 1.5 percent, and the S&P BSE Small-cap index closed with gains of 1.3
percent for the week ended August 14.
There are as many as 41 stocks in the S&P BSE
500 index which rose 10-40% in the week gone by, including PVR, JSW Steel, IFB
Industries, Divis Laboratories, GMM Pfaudler, Bharat Forge, Ashok Leyland and
eClerx Services.
