Sensex declines

The S&P BSE benchmark Sensex showed a biggest single day fall of 318 points after 3-1/2 month to close at 29,167.68 due to selling pressure mainly in Telecom, Consumer Durable, Auto, FMCG, Industrial and Metal sectors on the back lower global cues.

Persistent foreign capital inflows failed to restrict the Sensex fall.

Anupam Singhi, COO of William O’Neil India said, "The benchmark indices extended losses for a third straight session, amid weak global market cues. The same trend was observed on peer share markets as investors remained cautious following the news of North Korea failing a nuclear test and developments on the US President Donald Trump’s tax cut probability.

In Overseas, Asian stocks ended lower as investors re-evaluated their optimism around the ‘Trump trade.' Key indices in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan fell by 0.46 per cent to 2.13 per cent.
