Stocks open in green as Gujarat votes in second phase
The Sensex opened in the green by jumping 117 points today on value-buying in blue-chips ahead of exit poll results for the Gujarat assembly elections 2017. Asian stocks moved sideways, news agency PTI reported. The NSE Nifty went above the 10,200-mark. The 30-share BSE index was up 116.70 points, or 0.35 per cent, at 33,169.74. The Sensex had lost 402.75 in the previous two sessions, disappointed by grim economic data and the ADB lowering India's economic growth forecast. Analysts said optimistic buying by participants ahead of exit poll results for the Gujarat assembly polls later in the day had a bearing on mood.
