Stock Market Opening Bell & Market Update for 18-08-2017

Market Live: Sensex opens 200 points lower, Nifty below 9850; Infy tanks as Sikka steps down

After consecutive sessions of positive movements in the ongoing week, benchmark indices witnessed a gap-down opening, dragged by weak movements on Infosys on the back of developments in the top management exit.

At 09:18 hrs, the Sensex was down 210.84 points at 31584.62, while the Nifty was down 62.20 points at 9841.95. The market breadth was negative as 209 shares advanced against a decline of 742 shares, while 34 shares were unchanged.

ITC, Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M), Bharti Infratel and UltraTech Cement gained the most on both indices, while Infosys, State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda were the top losers.

Among global markets, Asia markets were pressured in early Friday trade after investors on Wall Street sold off on growing uncertainty over the Trump administration's ability to follow through on its economic policies.

Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.31 percent as risk off trade from the US session followed through into the Asian trading day. Across the Korean strait, the Kospi declined 0.81 percent.
