Metal, capital goods and PSU indices are holding firm on the BSE today even as IT stocks are yet to recover from the jolt delivered by Infosys’ guidance yesterday.
But while select stocks in these sectors have moved ahead, others are just holding on without any substantial gain in their prices.
In the capital goods sector, Bharat Electronics was a major gainer, up by Rs 49.05 at Rs 1,510, and L&T gained Rs 23.25 to trade at Rs 1,152.50.
ABB, which gained Rs 11.80 at Rs 690.25, Alstom Projects, which was up by Rs 13.80 at Rs 365.30, and Thermax, which moved up to Rs 459.80, a gain of Rs 12.55, were the others to make notable gains.
There were only two losers — Siemens which lost Rs 10.75 at Rs 708.50 and Praj Industries that shed 70 paise at Rs 83.70.
Metal stocks too, though in the green, did not make any substantial gains other than Coal India, which gained Rs 12.90 at Rs 338.40 and Tata Steel that was up by Rs 10.30 at Rs 398.40.
In the PSU space, SBI, which was up by Rs 20.65 at Rs 1,781.35, Oil India, which gained Rs 17.65 at Rs 1,141, and MMTC, which was up by Rs 16.20 at Rs 963.85, were among the major gainers.
