 Market Commentary 

Drubbed

After crashing over 550 points in the intra-day trades, the market closed slightly above 10,100 and shed 4.81% on pervasive selling pressure.

The market witnessed an across-the-board selling, as the sentiment remained bearish on the back of liquidity squeeze in the domestic market and a sharp

 

fall in the Asian indices. Sustained selling in metal, realty and banking stocks too added pressure on the domestic indices. The major Asian indices like Hang Seng (Hong Kong), Kospi (South Korea), Straits Times (Singapore) and Nikkei (Japan) shed over 5-6% each. After resuming 228 points below its previous close at 10,683, the market remained under the grip of sustained selling pressure. Extensive correction in heavyweights and index pivotal stocks towards the close dragged the index to the day's low of 10,128. The Sensex finally ended the session at 10,170, down 513 points, while Nifty shed 170 points to close at 3,065.

All the sectoral indices were hammered on the back of relentless selling pressure. The BSE Metal dropped 7.90% at 5,619, BSE Realty lost 7.57% at 2,433, BSE Bankex shed 5.78% at 5,504 and BSE Oil & Gas fell 5.56% at 6,398. The broader market was weak. Of the 2,588 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,733 stocks declined whereas 778 stocks advanced. Seventy seven stocks ended unchanged. 

Except ITC and Hindustan Unilever, all the stocks in the Sensex basket ended in the red. Among the major losers, Tata Steel tanked 12.04% at Rs244.80, Sterlite Industries tumbled by 10.04% at Rs265.10, Reliance Communications declined by 8.79% at Rs235.50, ICICI Bank slumped 8.04% at Rs396.45, Jaiprakash Associates fell 7.88% at Rs72.50, Tata Motors plunged 7.87% at Rs228.25, Bharti Airtel dropped 7.76% at Rs667.40, Mahindra & Mahindra slipped by 7.14% at Rs379.35 and ACC was down 7.11% at Rs452.15. Other front-line stocks were down 4-6% each.

HDIL witnessed volumes of over 99 lakh shares on the BSE followed by Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals (79 lakh shares), IFCI (65 lakh shares), Reliance Petroleum (61 lakh shares) and Reliance Natural Resources (59 lakh shares).
