Sensex sinks 800 pts, Nifty falls 200 pts as Gujarat polls counting underway
Equity benchmarks stated off the week sharply lower on Monday as
latest voting counts indicated that BJP is leading in both states (Gujarat
and Himachal Pradesh) but with small margin.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was down 740.11 points or 2.21 percent at
32,722.86 and the 50-share NSE Nifty fell 208.80 points or 2.02 percent to
10,124.50.
Out of 30 stocks, only 1 stock is trading in green, which is Cipla after
getting tentative approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for
HIV drug, Darunavir hydrate (75-800 mg).
About five shares declined for every share rising on the BSE.
The Indian rupee was sharply lower by 25 paise to 64.29 against the
US dollar in early trade, following weakness in equity markets.
Asian markets were mixed amid optimism that a plan to reduce corporate
taxes would be passed in the US.
