The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex on Monday closed over the 16,000-point level for the first time this year as buying in realty, metal and banking segments powered over 320-point rally on strong global cues.

The 30-share index rose by 327.20 points to close at 15-month high of 16,016.32 points, a level never seen after June 2, 2008. The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty soared by 102.50 points to 4,782.90 points. The rally was backed by steep rise in stocks of realty, metal and banking segments on reports that shortage of monsoon rainfall might ease, improving the outlook of farm production and boosting buying in rural parts of the country.

The fag-end surge was mostly attributed to higher opening in European stock markets this afternoon.

Among the Sensex shares, 28 scrips closed with gains while ITC Ltd and Mahindra and Mahindra ended with losses.

Infosys Technologies, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, RCom, DLF Ltd, Tata Motors and Tata Steel were the major gainers and helped Sensex rise above 16,000 points level.

TOI is quoting like the monsoon rainfall may ease and the drought season will be ending soon and based on that in turn boost buying in the rural parts of the country...so what could be the reasons apart from this? and now how to carry it to 17K?

17000 is foreseeable. Diwali may breach 17000. The best thing about Indian economy is its resilience shown in the face of the global financial crisis as well as drought. With monsoon improving rainfalls from the earlier forecast, pick up in housing with credit easing in that segment, the domestic market seems to be having positive vibes. External sector brings news from 3 broad resources: China, US and Europe. These 3 resources and FIIs will contribute to a good measure of volatility. Indian economy is showing resilience and its economic fundamentals will be focused by market. While decoupling of the market is an ideal situation that will be seen with circumspection, the FIIs may exhibit greater confidence in India, as they handle the liquidity surge towards stock markets. The Indian market is to witness a surge in the index from liquidity driving it on the strength of confidence on economic fundamentals. The journey is continuing in the northern direction, notwithstanding minor zig zags.

Hopefully this is a good sign for the Indian market. Yes the drought situation has been changing and good rainflal has hit the lands of Maharashatra, Gujarat, South region, and North region too.......so all agriclutural land is rain fed now. So  it shows the sign of revival

This, indeed is a very good sign. It shown positive economic growth of our country. The reasons for this may b because of buying rural sector rural and investment of foreign industries into Indian market.
