Textile counters sustain activity on improved sentiment

Uptrend continued during the week (ended June 19) as the market witnessed an overall buying with a vast spread of retail investors involved in the rally. The Maruti issue got oversubscribed 10 times, indicating a restoration of confidence in the investing community. FIIs poured in nearly Rs 650 crore during the last one week. Moreover, MFs also remained active buyers. The Sensex gained more than 115 points to close the week at 3454 points.

Sentiment was bullish on all the major textile counters as frontline as well as second rung stocks continued their rallies. RIL, Raymond, IPCL, Clariant, Bombay Dyeing posted close to 10 per cent gain, while stocks like Zodiac and Pantaloon flared up by more than 15 per cent, even as analysts considered them to be undervalued.

With the onset of monsoon and overall bullish sentiment, it appears that the Sensex may not lose the momentum in the short run and has found a new bottom in 3310 levels. The index is expected to hover around 3340-3550 levels. Investors can buy at the lower end of this range and sell when the Sensex surpasses 3550 points.
