Draghi comments sparks rally; Sensex, Nifty gain sharply
The BSE Sensex was trading higher by 224 points, while the NSE Nifty was up 72 points at 9.30 am IST. In Asia most of the markets gained between 1-2%, while European markets and the US markets had a stellar performance on Thursday.
Expectations heightened after Draghi's comments with markets across the globe now expecting more from the ECB's meet next week.
On the domestic bourses shares that gained sharply in trade amongst the Nifty stocks were Tata Motors, Sterlite, ICICI Bank and Hindalco. Interestingly, only Sun Pharma lost ground in early trading today.
ICICI Bank rose more than 3% ahead of its results. Analysts are expecting a jump of at least 30% in the net profits of the company.
Shares of SKS Microfinance rose sharply after Deutsche Bank bought a 9% stake in the company.
