| Indian indices After yesterday?s strong session, the domestic markets dropped in today?s trade on the back of sell-off in technology, telecom, power, metal and healthcare sectors. The benchmark indices retreated from 30-month high levels amid concerns of valuations exceeding the earnings growth outlook. The weak global markets also led to further decline. However, the overseas investment in the Indian equities climbed 54% this year, driving the Sensex to the most expensive in Asia and the BRIC markets, which include China, Brazil and Russia. ITC, the nation?s biggest cigarette company, declined by 1.6%. Tata Motors, the owner of Jaguar Land Rover, jumped to a record high after returning to profit in the first quarter. On the other hand, the index heavyweight Reliance Industries continued to slide. The Sensex began the day 15 points lower at 18272. The Sensex briefly turned positive and touched the day?s high of 18293 in its initial trade. As the session progressed, the index slipped again in the morning trade owing to weak Asian markets. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | Indiabulls Real Estate | 185.80 | 5.75 | | Educomp Solutions | 689.80 | 5.30 | | | | | | Aban Offshore | 880.30 | -3.39 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Market Outlook: Tonight, all eyes will be on the Fed monetary policy meet. The cash rate may be changed to 0% level from the current 0.25%. But, the Wall Street is now convinced that the Fed will begin to re-implement quantitative easing measures, such as again buying up mortgage securities. | The Sensex expanded its losses in the afternoon session to hit the day?s low of 18170 as the European markets opened lower. However, from that level the index pared some of its losses. At the closing bell, the Sensex shut at 18220, 68 points down. The Nifty closed at 5461, 25 points lower. Bond Market Update: India?s 10-year bonds were little changed, near their lowest in almost a week, before release of industrial output data for June this week. Market sentiment The market breadth was negative as declining stocks outnumbered the advancing ones. Of the 3,087 shares traded on the BSE, 1,706 shares declined whereas 1,283 shares advanced. Ninety-eight shares traded unchanged. Viewing volumes Industrial finance company - IFCI was the most traded share with over 0.99 crore shares changing hands on the BSE, followed by India's second largest developer - Unitech (0.70 crore shares), India?s one of the largest car maker ? Tata Motors (0.52 crore shares), wind turbine major ? Suzlon Energy (0.37 crore shares) and infrastructure firm ?
