Nifty ends below 8650, Sensex in red; ICICI, L&T fall 4-5%
TCS, Tata Steel, Maruti Suzuki, Wipro and Bajaj Auto were top gainers while ICICI Bank, L&T, BHEL, Adani Ports and GAIL were losers in the Sensex.
The market has ended flat with the Nifty below 8650. The 50-share was down 1.95 points at 8636.55 and the Sensex was down 48.74 points or 0.2 percent at 28003.12. About 1185 shares have advanced, 1564 shares declined, and 148 shares are unchanged.
Bank nifty on the other hand got weak and shed 212 points to close at 18740. Bank nifty started the day on a positive note but failed to hold the highs of 19100 levels and then finally slipped till closing. There are chances of it remaining a bit in correction for the coming days.
Although with BJP and Congress joint meeting held yesterday and congress deciding to support GST will be a huge positive for the market. The Question that will remain is that has the Nifty already discounted GST news and we may see a good profit booking rally from current levels and if it has not yet discounted then till what levels it can give us a rally.
