India's Sensex Index recaptured the 15,000 level during an extremely volatile trading session Thursday. The Sensex fell 437 points in early trading hitting 14,747.99, before mounting an amazing comeback following the release of industrial data. India's industrial output, which is measured by the Index of Industrial Production, jumped 7% in April, vs. 3.9% for March and manufacturing production gained 7.5% in April, vs. 2.9% in March.

"The stocks were oversold which triggered a counter rally later in the day, while better than expected IIP figures also provided a slight positive push," said Rajesh Jain, vice president of SMC Global.
