 Market Commentary 
Market sheds another 2%
All across selling on the back of weakness in global markets saw the Sensex shed 354 points for the day.
Sustained selling pressure persisted for the second straight session, with the index falling in sync with global markets and posting another 2.50% loss at the  
closing. Indices across Asia also witnessed a major correction and shed around 1-2% each. The market started to deteriorate by mid-morning trades, after a rebound from a weak opening saw the Sensex breach the 15500 levels and touch an intra-day high of 15502 in early trades. While the market steadily kept losing momentum, widespread selling in afternoon nearly dragged the index below around 15100 to the day's low of 15104. The Sensex managed to erase 50 points towards the close and ended the session at 15160, down 354 points. The Nifty declined by 104 points to close at 4481.

On the BSE, the number of declining shares stood at 1,922 stocks, whereas 748 stocks advanced for the day. 78 stocks remained unchanged. Of the 13 sectoral indices, all were battered. The BSE CD index dropped 3.92% followed by the BSE Auto index (down 3.87%), the BSE Realty index (down 3.29%), the BSE Bankex (down 2.96%), the BSE Power index (down 2.65%) and the BSE CG index (down 2.39%).

Out of the 30 Sensex stocks only three managed to end in the green. Among the major losers, Reliance Communications tanked 5.79% to trade Rs254.75. Mahindra & Mahindra slumped 5.56% to Rs832.90, JP Associates shed 5.46% to Rs218.15, Maruti Suzuki India crumbled 5.33% to Rs1,291.30, Tata Power dropped 4.78% to Rs1,225.35, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) slipped 4.11% to Rs2,179.60, Bharti Airtel plunged 3.88% to Rs383.80 and ICICI Bank fell 3.62% to Rs738.05. Other front-line stocks also declined by around 1-3% each. However, National Thermal Power Corporation bucked the downtrend and advanced 0.71% to Rs212.25, Tata Steel gained 0.31% to trade at Rs456.20 and Wipro inched up 0.13% to close at Rs498.90.

Of the shares that witnessed maximum trading on the BSE, Ispat Industries occupied the top slot (1.94 crore shares) followed by Unitech (1.66 crore shares), Firstsource Solutions (1.58 crore shares), Prism Cement (1.27 crore shares) and Mahindra Satyam (1.12 crore shares).
