Mumbai: Market benchmark Sensex failed to capitalize on early momentum and plunged over 362 points on Monday to end at 23,191.97, dragged down by profit-booking amid contraction in exports last month.

The broader NSE Nifty too struggled and settled below the crucial 7,100-level. Sentiment took a hit after country’s exports dipped for the 14th month in a row, down 13.6% in January to $21 billion due to fall in petroleum and engineering goods shipments, even as trade deficit showed improvement.

The market benchmark BSE Sensex zoomed over 400 points to rise above 23,000-mark in early trade on Monday following widespread gains as investors widened their bets amid a firming trend in other Asian markets. However, caution prevailed in view of muted macroeconomic data.

The 30-share index, which gained 34.29 points in the previous session, added 404.23 points or 1.75% to 23,390.358 with all the sectoral indices led by metal, realty and oil and gas leading the gains.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is okay with listing on rival BSE if the exchange is required to make all mandatory information disclosures directly to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) or another body.

“We can be listed anywhere, but disclosure of information should happen to the regulator or any other neutral body,” people close to the NSE told Business Standard. NSE has been unequivocal in its insistence on self-listing despite the disallowance of such an arrangement under existing SEBI norms.

Domestic equity markets posted their biggest weekly fall this week since July 2009 as disappointing corporate earnings, sliding rupee and weak global markets continued to dampen sentiments. Sensex tanked 1,630.85 points, or 6.62 per cent, to 22,986.12 on Feb 12, 2016 from 24,616.97 on Feb 5, 2016. Similarly, NSE Nifty slid 508.15 points, or 6.79 per cent, to 6,980.95 during the week under review.

Mumbai: Indian stocks entered bear market territory on Thursday with the benchmark equity index Sensex falling over 800 points. The biggest market decline in more than six months to close at fresh 21-month lows followed a steep slide in European shares, sliding crude oil prices and disappointing corporate earnings on the domestic front.

The market is seen falling further in the days ahead, as risk is off the table globally.

The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty fell for the third straight session and hit their fresh 52-week lows on Wednesday on rising concerns over a spike in bad loans of public sector banks amid global sell-off. Sensex closed 262 points down at 23,758.90, while Nifty settled 76.80 points down at 7221.40. Weakness in the Indian rupee against dollar too weighed on the market sentiment.

MUMBAI: The benchmark BSE Sensex extended losses for a second straight day and cracked below 24,000-mark by tumbling almost 374 points in early deals on sustained capital outflows by foreign funds and selling by retail investors.

There were no surprises on the growth front as a government data on Monday showed that Indian economy grew 7.3 per cent in October-December quarter of 2015-16.

New Delhi: Market benchmark Sensex plunged by 330 points to 24,287.42 ahead of the release of GDP numbers for the third quarter as selling pressure intensified in the later half of the session on weak opening in European shares.

The BSE barometer opened on a flat note and remained sideways for most part of the session awaiting quarterly GDP numbers, but sank heavily on weakness in European equities.

Dismal earnings of key corporates coupled with falling crude oil prices and global sell-off dragged the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty down by one percentage point for the week ended February 5, 2016. However, bargain hunting and hopes of GST Bill in the upcoming Budget session of Parliament capped the downside. During January 29 and February 5, Sensex slid 253 points to 24,616.97, while Nifty lost 74.45 points to 7489.10.

MUMBAI: The benchmark BSE Sensex recovered from two-week low by rising 226 points and the NSE Nifty recaputred the 7,400-mark in early trade on Thursday, mainly supported by value-buying in recently beaten down blue-chip stocks amid positive global cues.

Furthermore, covering-up of short positions by speculators at prevailing levels also helped the recovery.
