 Market Commentary 
Down for third day
Market plunges 2.31% amid steep slump in capital goods, banking, auto and information technology stocks.
The market slid for the third straight session, with the Sensex erasing around 500 points but finally closing 324 points lower. Almost all the sectoral indices bore the  
brunt and tanked around 2-5% each. The mood was however extremely bullish in the first hour. The Sensex, taking cue from weak global indices, resumed 17 points lower at 14043 and added another 46 points to touch an intra-day high of 14090. Exhibiting sharp volatility thereafter it eased in late morning, and continued to move southward through afternoon. Frantic selling towards the close saw it come close to slipping below 13700 level and touch the day's low of 13704. The Sensex finally ended 324 points lower at 13737, while Nifty shed 59 points to close at 4211.

The market breadth was positive, with gainers outnumbering the losers by 3.33:1. Of the 2,767 stocks traded on the BSE, 2,097 stocks advanced, whereas 627 stocks declined. Fourty three stocks ended unchanged. Bar the few, all the sectoral indices were hammered during the day. The BSE CG tanked by 5.41% followed by BSE Bankex (down 2.91%), BSE Auto (down 2.07%), BSE IT (down 1.88%) and BSE FMCG (down 1.86%).

Of the 30 stocks of the Sensex, only six (ONGC, Reliance Communications, Ranbaxy Laboratories, National Thermal Power Corporation, Reliance Infrastructure and JP Associates) posted gains. Of the 24 losing stocks, Larsen & Toubro tanked by 8.59% at Rs1,242.60, Maruti Suzuki India tumbled by 6.93% at Rs971.10, ICICI Bank declined by 5.15% at Rs672.30, HDFC plunged by 5.01% at Rs2,099.30, Hindalco Industries dropped 5% at Rs78.90, Wipro crumbled by 4.86% at Rs375.60, Tata Consultancy Services slumped 4.25% at Rs648.70 and Mahindra & Mahindra fell by 3.75% at Rs653.20. Bharat Heavy Electricals, State Bank of India, ACC, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Grasim Industries, Sterlite Industries, ITC, Infosys Technologies, Tata Power, Tata Motors and Reliance Industries dropped around 1-3% each. ONGC at Rs1,074.70, Reliance Communications at Rs322.30, Ranbaxy Laboratories at Rs223.65, National Thermal Power Corporation at Rs212.25 and Reliance Infrastructure at Rs1,109.95, however, ended with modest gains. 

Over 4.32 crore shares of Cals Refineries shares changed hands on the BSE followed by BL Kashyap & Sons (3.18 crore shares), Ispat Industries (2.48 crore shares), Reliance Natural Resources (2.44 crore shares) and Unitech (2.04 crore shares).
