The market staged a remarkable rally on Thursday and the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty shot up by 482 points (5.51%) and 132 points (4.95%) respectively as hopes of a strong stimulus package from the government to boost the economy triggered frenzied buying in bluechip stocks.

But the mood turned bearish on the final session and with several bluechip stocks crashing down following a big sell-off in afternoon trade, it was a negative close for the market last week (December 1 - 5, 2008). Recording losses on three of the five sessions, the Sensex ended the week lower by 127.52 points or 1.40% at 8,965.20. The Nifty slipped 40.70 points or 1.47% to 2714.40 last week.
