Let us take a quick glance at what happened on Dalal Street today. Domestic equity indices, which traded in a range for most of Tuesday’s trade, were dragged down by the selling in index heavyweight and financial counters. However, buying in IT stocks provided some relief.
The Nifty 50 index ended at 15,730, down 22 points, and the BSE Sensex barometer slipped 53 points to settle at 52,276. Fear gauge VIX eased over 2%.
SBI was the top loser among Sensex stocks, falling over 1 per cent. HDFC, HDFC Bank, power Grid and Kotak Bank were among other laggards. Tech Mahindra was the top gainer, rallying 3 per cent. Bharti Airtel, HCL Tech, Infosys and Titan were among other top performers.
