The markets continued to rally for the eight straight week. The Sensex zoomed past the milestone of 18,000, and in fact came quite close to the 19,000-mark in intra-day trades.
The Sensex began the week on a negative note, losing 282 points on Monday, but the bulls came back strongly to take the index way past the 18,000-mark. It also recorded its biggest single day gain of 789 points on the following day. With the bulls being in no mood to relent, the index saw a massive intra-week movement of 1,557 points, i.e. from a low of 17,287 the index soared to a lifetime high of 18,845. The Sensex finally ended the week with a gain of 3.6 per cent (646 points) at 18,419. The index has now gained a whopping 30.2 per cent (4,228 points) in the last eight weeks.
The short-term target of 19,000 for the Sensex, mentioned last week, remains intact. Given the pace of the rally, the index may easily zoom past this milestone.
