Market Commentary

Market gives up three-day winning streak

Sensex witnesses an intra-day swing of 390 points and sheds 262 points on broad-based selling pressure.

Taking cue from last three day’s gain of around 342 points, Sensex opened on a firm note at 10,073, around 96 point up from the previous close of 9,977.

While the market witnessed a fluctuating trend for a while, the afternoon trades saw the index tumble below the 9,700 mark to touch the day's low of 9,683 amid relentless selling pressure. Sensex finally ended the day with loss of 262 points at 9,715, whereas Nifty declined by 87 points to close at 2,954.

Market breadth was extremely weak as losers outdid gainers. Of 2,597 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,569 stocks declined while 956 stocks advanced. Seventy two stocks ended unchanged. All the sectoral indices slipped sharply. BSE Realty dropped 7.36% followed by BSE Teck (down 5.02%), BSE Power (down 4.44%), BSE Metal (down 4.36%), BSE IT (down 4.04%) and BSE CG (down 3.86%).

ICICI Bank advanced 2.43% at Rs431.80 and HDFC Bank moved up by 1.83% at Rs1,002.05, while Infosys, Wipro, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Mahindra & Mahindra, Grasim Industries, ONGC and Maruti Suzuki India ended with modest gains.
