The Sensex came down slightly from its all-time high on Monday, but still ruled firm by 208 points at 31,568 on the back of higher Asian peers even as the broader NSE halted trading due to a technical glitch.

The National Stock Exchange stopped trading in early session because of the technical outage as deals were not getting updated in the system and officials confirmed that there will be intimations to update investors.

Market on Friday moved lower from its all-time peak as participants were quick to take profit amid a lacklustre trend overseas.

Stocks of FMCG, capital goods, banking, IT and realty remained subdued.

NEW DELHI: Sebi Chairman Ajay Tyagi on Monday said the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will refile Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the market regulator that would comprise a new financial statement, media reports suggested.

Tyagi, told reporters on the sidelines of an event, the prospectus may need to be re-submitted to reflect updated financials.

The market hit a bright spot straightaway today as the Sensex moved beyond 31,000 at the start, extending its weekend gains following the GST kick-off amid mixed Asian cues. However, growth of eight core sectors slowed to 3.6 per cent in May dragged down by coal and fertilisers, which acted as a sobering factor. The 30-share index, after soaring 337 points to touch high of 31,258.33 at the outset, let go of some gains and traded at 31,069.20, up 147.59 points, or 0.48 per cent.

The Sensex fell over 154 points and the Nifty went below 9,500 in the beginning on Friday as the July derivative series took off on a negative note amid anxiety ahead of GST rollout. Capital outflow by foreign funds and weak global shares only added to concerns.

Investors kept their fingers crossed ahead of the landmark tax reform Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is set for a mid-night launch on Friday.

The Sensex headed up surging 160 points on Thursday as investors welcomed the Cabinet's decision to give 'in-principle' nod to disinvestment of Air India, a sign the government is not shying away from bold reforms. A firm trend in Asia brought risk appetite back.

Speculators went about covering their short positions in anticipation of more reforms, Thursday being the expiry of June futures and options derivative contracts. The 30-share index, which had lost 456.42 points in the previous three sessions, rose 159.85 points, or 0.51%, to 30,994.17. All sectors were in the green.

Stock markets saw an alarming slump on Tuesday as the equity benchmarks- Sensex and Nifty lost well over 0.50 per cent. The 30-share BSE Sensex closed 179.96 points below (0.58 per cent) at 30,958.25 while the broader 50-share NSE Nifty slipped 63.55 points (0.66 per cent) to end at 9,511.40.

In a turbulent day for the market, Sensex hit the day-low of 30,847.08, almost 300 points below closing mark of the previous session. It slipped below 31,000 for the first time since May 25. Nifty also lost more than 100 points in intra-day trade to touch the low point of 9,473.45, hitting a one-month low.

Benchmark Sensex gave up early gains to end 153 points lower at 31,138.21 on Friday while the Nifty cracked below the 9,600-mark as investors took profit ahead of a long weekend.

On a weekly basis, the Sensex gained 81.81 points, or 0.26%, while the broader Nifty shed 13.10 points, or 0.13%. Markets will remain closed on Monday on account of 'Id-ul-Fitr' (Ramzan Id).

Indian shares fell on Friday, with the NSE index hitting a one-week low, as investors booked profits in financials such as State Bank of India and automakers such as Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. Still, the indexes were headed for small weekly gains on hopes the central bank will cut interest rates after minutes from a monetary policy committee meeting earlier this month showed one member acknowledging that inflation had eased. Caution is, however, likely to prevail in the near term as India gears up to unveil a nationwide goods and services tax on July 1, while monitoring global factors such as falling crude prices.

The BSE Sensex made a strong recovery of 136 points at the start on June 22 on the back of a slew of steps by regulator Sebi to make markets more attractive for investments.

Asian cues remained mixed.

The 30-share index rebounded by 136.27 points, or 0.44%, to 31,419.91. Realty, metal, power and auto rose up to 1.09%, staying in the positive zone.
