Stock Market Updates for Today (30th June '11)

The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty  hit their multi-week highs today as the bulls stayed fairly aggressive once again, tracking global markets, where stocks moved higher amid easing worries about the financial crisis in Greece. Data revealing a decent inflow of funds from foreign institutional investors over the past few sessions aided sentiment to a significant extent. A firm trend in global commodity prices helped as well.

The Sensex, which rose to 18,715.39, ended the day with a gain of 201.41 points or 1.09% at 18,693.86. The Nifty closed at 5600.45, recording a gain of 55.15 points or 0.99%. Both Sensex and Nifty ended at their best levels since 2 May 2011.
