Shanghai shock shakes Sensex
The Sensex and the Nifty fell below 20000 and 6000 levels respectively owing to heavy sell-off in Shanghai Composite Index on renewed talk of further rate tightening

  • Strong debut for Gravita India 
  • Dabur India acquires US hair care company; the stock ends 3.96% lower

Indian indices
It was a complete bloodbath on the Dalal Street, with the Sensex and the Nifty breaking the important psychological levels of 20000 and 6000 respectively for the first time in the last 13 sessions. Heavy sell-off in Shanghai Composite Index on renewed talk of further rate tightening spooked the markets. The European indices also fell owing to lingering concerns about Ireland's debt situation and China?s rate hike fears. 

New listing: Gravita India closed at Rs210.40, at a premium of 68.32% over an issue price of Rs125.

The Sensex started the session 62 points higher at 20372. The index soon hit the day?s high of 20380 in initial trade. However, from that level the Sensex slipped into the negative zone. The Sensex fell sharply in the mid-morning session and breached its crucial levels of 20000 after China?s Shanghai Index slumped over 4% on monetary tightening fears. The index traded extremely weak, hitting the day?s low of 19832 in the afternoon session as the European stocks slid along with heavy sell-off across the board.

Market Outlook: The data to be released tonight in the US will be Producer Price Index, Industrial Production and Housing Market Index. 

At the closing bell, the Sensex shut shop at 19865, lower by 445 points. The Nifty closed at 5989, down by 133 points

Bonds and Rupee update: The Indian rupee opened at 45.14 per dollar versus 45.23. The bond market is expecting some steps from the regulators to improve the liquidity conditions. The ten-year yield is seen between 8.06-8.10%.

Market sentiment
The market breadth was extremely weak as losing stocks outpaced the gaining ones almost four times. Of the 3,124 stocks on the BSE, 2,433 tumbled while 598 rose. Ninety-three stocks remained unchanged.

Sectoral & stock screening
It was all in red on the sectoral indices front. The BSE Realty was the worst hit, fell by 3.55%. BSE Metal declined by 3.11%, BSE Capital Goods (CG) lost by 2.78% and BSE Consumer Durables (CD) slipped by 2.58%. The remaining sectors slid in the range of 0.66-2.22%.

Bears hit all the 30 Sensex stocks except Bharti Airtel that managed to rise by 1.16%. The top losers were Sterlite Industries (down 5.10%), Hindalco Industries (down 5.21%), Jaiprakash Associates (down 4.57%), Reliance Communications (down 3.72%), Larsen & Toubro (down 3.53%) and Reliance Infrastructure (down 3.45%).



Global signals
European shares retreated, pressured by miners, with lingering concerns about Ireland's debt situation and renewed talk of further policy tightening in China prompted investors to trade cautiously.

The major Asian indices closed in the negative territory except Jakarta Composite. China?s Shanghai Composite closed lower by 3.98%, while Hang Seng ended 1.39% down.

The US stock index futures point to a lower opening on the Wall Street. The investors will keep an eye on the Producer Price Index, Industrial Production and Housing Market Index data.
