Stock market update
Benchmark equity indices ended significantly lower on Monday, snapping a two-session winning streak as selling pressure in private banking stocks, including HDFC Bank and Axis Bank, coupled with weak global market cues, weighed on investor sentiment. The Sensex plunged 876.37 points, while the Nifty settled below the 22,900 mark.
The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 876.37 points, or 1.17%, to close at 73,852.90. During the session, the index fell as much as 1,020.73 points, or 1.36%, to hit an intraday low of 73,708.54.
The NSE Nifty 50 also ended lower, shedding 257.20 points, or 1.11%, to settle at 22,888.95.
“Markets traded volatile on Monday and declined over 1% amid weak market cues. After opening on a flat note, the Nifty traded choppily during the first half of the session. However, sustained selling in heavyweight stocks across sectors dragged the index lower as the day progressed. Eventually, the Nifty settled near the day’s low at 22,888.95, reflecting the prevailing weakness in market sentiment,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – research, Religare Broking.
