Post-market: Markets tepid on Fed's speech

Markets tepid on Fed's speech
Domestic markets end the session marginally lower on a rather dull expiry day as the US Federal Reserve stays cautious on the global recovery front
Major headlines
  • Food inflation climbs to 16.90% 
  • Reliance Industries inks joint venture with Pioneer; the stock ends 0.69% lower 
  • FCS Software wins order from Middle East; the stock closes 9.90% down
Indian indices
The domestic indices finished the last day of June F&O contracts with marginal losses. The markets witnessed immense volatility all through the day. US Federal Reserve's more downbeat language on the economic growth in the world's biggest economy and India's rising food inflation to 16.90% for the week ended June 12, 2010 from 16.12% in the previous week, weighed on the investor's sentiment. 

The Sensex opened flat at 17751, mere five points lower on subdued global cues. The Sensex soon turned positive and expanded gains in the morning session to touch the day's high of 17846 on the back of buying in metal and consumer durables stocks. In the afternoon session, the index erased all its gains and slipped into the negative zone to touch the day's low of 17633 as the European markets traded lower. 

At the closing, the Sensex closed at 17730, 26 points down. The Nifty shut lower by mere three points at 5321.
