The only stock with a litthe gain was Central Bank of India, which gained only 1 per cent in trade. Bank of Baroda was another stock that did not see a stupendous rally and was up only 2 per cent in trade.

For many quarters now, PSU banking or government owned banking stocks have been the worst performers in trade. The quarterly numbers have been weak and there was a continued worries over poor asset quality. However, the belief now is that the worst for the sector may now be behind us.
