SENSEX ENDS FLAT ON WEAK GLOBAL CUES
DATE: 27/04/2012
Indian benchmark indices, the Sensex and the Nifty, ended the session flat today due to a weak trend in the global markets.
European stocks dropped after Standard & Poor’s cut Spain’s sovereign credit rating and as investors awaited Italian debt sales and a US report on first quarter economic growth.
Asian stocks fell with the regional benchmark index snapping a two-day gain.
At 3.30 p.m., the 30-share BSE index Sensex was down 3.76 points or 0.02 per cent at 17,126.91 and the 50-share NSE index Nifty was down 2.65 points or 0.05 per cent at 5,186.35.
Volume toppers were SBI, ICICI Bank, Infosys, RIL and Tata Steel. Among the 30-share Sensex, TCS, ICICI Bank, Hindalco, Infosys and GAIL were the top performers. Coal India, SBI, Bajaj Auto, BHEL and Jindal Steel were the major laggards.
Among BSE sectoral indices, Consumer Durables, IT, TECk and Bankex ended in the green; PSU, FMCG, Metal and Realty ended in the red.
