19/3/09 - BSE, NSE surpasses key psycological checkpoints (levels)

After a firm opening taking cues from global shores, investors took to profit booking at higher levels. Sentiment worsened after inflation eased close to zero -- a sharp slide towards deflationary territory. The annual rate of inflation fell by as much as 200 basis points to a historic low of 0.44 percent for the week ended March 7 against 2.43 percent for the week before.

However, the silver lining to the fall in inflation rate was that the central bank may take some steps soon to help lower the cost of credit for the corporate sector and push demand, which helped lift sentiment. A positive opening on the European bourses also lent support.
