The market slipped into the red in the morning trades tracking weak Asian markets, but the main blow came towards the close as relentless selling in metal, capital goods, power, banking, and realty stocks dragged the index below the 19,000 mark to a low of 18,515. The Sensex fell more than 4% in late trades in line with other Asian markets on concerns about the US economy. The sentiment across Asia was hit after the US federal policy makers lowered their growth forecast in October and appeared worried about the credit-market losses. It has lowered the growth rate for the next year to 1.8% from 2.5% anticipated in June. The Sensex finally managed to recover some of its losses and closed the session at 18,603, down 3.52% with losses of 678 points. The Nifty, too, fell sharply and declined by 3.80% and was down 220 points to close at 5,561.
