Sharemasterindia.com: Shares of state-run banks extended their winning streak to a fifth
straight day; the
CNX PSU Bank index has now gained over 16 per cent in
five days, significantly outperforming the broader Nifty, which is up
nearly 2.5 per cent during the same period.
The rally in state-run banks has been attributed to the government's
announcement to infuse capital worth Rs 70,000 crore over four years.
Among individual stocks, Bank of Baroda has been among the biggest
winner; shares in India's second-biggest state-run lender by assets have
jumped 25 per cent in five sessions as its management forecast growth
in troubled loans to slow in the coming quarters.
