Indian indices In spite of robust index of industrial production (IIP) numbers for December 2009, the domestic indices closed lower on the back of weak global indicators combined with rising inflation worry and continuing selling in Bharti Airtel. The Sensex that opened 34 points higher at 16187 briefly stayed in green and touched the day?s high of 16227. However, it soon turned negative and touched the day?s low of 16011 after inflation figures were announced. At finish line the Sensex closed at 16038, 114 points lower while Nifty closed 25 points down at 4802. Market sentiment The market breadth was negative.
