It was a good day for Indian markets considering the kind of global cues it began with. The global slump continued and weighed heavily on the markets. The indices struggled with the cues from China as the Shanghai index cracked sharply mid-session. A smart recovery in the second half helped the markets close the session in the positive territory. .The Nifty shut shop at 4,659, up 17 points, while the Sensex ended the day at 15,688 up 60 points. IT stocks lead the charge post HCL Technologies' stellar results. Realty and oil and gas too clocked handy gains of above 1%. The advance-decline ratio ended at 3:2 in favour of advances, while turnover came in higher than average at over 1,13,000 crore.
