The
benchmark BSE Sensex today plunged by 245 points to 26,523.09 -- its
lowest in nearly eight months -- on heavy selling in FMCG stocks amid
prevailing drought fears and RBI's cautions stance on economic
recovery. The 30-share barometer has seen an erosion of 1,326 points
in last five sessions. The 50-share NSE Nifty continued its slide for
the sixth session and dipped below the psychological 8,100-mark by
tumbling 70.55 points or 0.87 per cent to close at 8,044.15.
The
sentiment was also hit after a better-than-expected US jobs data
raised fears that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this
year. At the forex market, the rupee breached the 64-level to trade
at 64.16 (intra-session) against the dollar. The Sensex, after
opening higher at 26,814.31, advanced to touch the day's high of
26,827.05 on value-buying in recently beaten blue-chip stocks.
However, it slipped into the negative zone on emergence of
profit-booking and touched a low of 26,472.87 before settling 245.40
points or 0.92 per cent down at 26,523.09, a level last seen on
October 20, 2014. Selling pressure was also visible in the broader
indices. The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indices were down 1.54 per
cent and 1.42 per cent, respectively. Caution ahead of a host of
macroeconomic numbers such as IIP and inflation data, to be released
this week also cast shadow on the trading sentiments, traders said.
As many as 25 Sensex stocks closed in the red. Sectorally, the BSE
consumer durables index suffered the most by falling 1.94 per cent,
followed by metal (1.73 pc), oil&Gas (1.55 pc), FMCG (1.52 pc)
and healthcare (1.17 pc). Meanwhile, mixed trend was seen in other
Asian markets and a weak opening was witnessed in European markets.
