Private financial sector stocks figuring in the CNX Nifty seemed to have picked up today from where they left yesterday with five of them hitting fresh 52-week highs in the first hour of trading on the NSE.
The only stock to lose out in the race was ICICI Bank that was inching close to its 52-week high.
Axis Bank was the biggest gainer in value jumping by Rs 28.30 to trade at Rs 1,537. The stock touched a fresh 52-week high of Rs 1,538.90 today, before being down by less than Rs 2.

Its parent HDFC also joined the party, hitting a new 52-week high of Rs 917.50 but was down marginally to Rs 911.45. Kotak Mahindra Bank , which was initially trailing, pulled back and touched a new 52-week high of Rs 771.35, before easing to Rs 770.70, a gain of Rs 2.45.
