The movement of the dollar has been ranging between 68-70 in which 70 would be a big hurdle," said said Dyaneshwar Padwal AVP Technical Analysis, KIFS TradeCapital..(Banking stocks led the gains as the 10 out of 12 PSU banking stocks gained in trade.) Some experts are bullish on the June quarter results season. "The Sensex and Nifty, in the past two-three months are driven by few large heavyweights like HDFC Bank, TCS, RIL, HDFC, Infosys not holding up close to the all-time highs. However, the levels of the indices hides the carnage in the broad markets where stocks have corrected by 20-50 per cent. Rarely does one see this kind of polarization in the markets. The current results season should be good with technology, private banks/NBFC's, auto and consumer companies likely to report results that will meet the Street expectations but may also positively surprise," said Vivek Mavani, SEBI Registered investment Advisor. At 12:28 pm, TCS shares traded at Rs 1,893.60 with a gain of 0.56 per cent. .Banking stocks led the gains as the 10 out of 12 PSU banking stocks gained in trade.
