Global crisis cast shadow on Indian intraday market today
which triggered a sharp selling. The Sensex ended down 259.87 points or 1.02
percent at 25329.14. The Nifty fell 80.70 points or 1.06 percent at 7568.55.
About 855 shares have advanced, 2058 shares declined, and 90 shares are
unchanged.
Capital goods, metals
and realty stocks were beaten out of shape. Except FMCG and Healthcare, all
indices closed in red. Sesa Sterlite, BHEl, Tata Power, Tata Steel and GAIL
were major laggards in the Sensex. The Reserve Bank of India today fixed
reference rate of the rupee against the US dollar at 61.5575 and of Euro at
82.4125 as against 61.4123 and 82.1672 yesterday.
Gold prices again crossed the Rs 29,000-mark to hit over
two-month high by rising Rs 300 to Rs 29,100 per ten gram in the national
capital today, mostly in tandem with a firming trend overseas as worsening
tensions in Iraq fuelled safe-haven demand.
