Roller coaster session ends in turmoil
The domestic market ended the extremely volatile session with huge losses, which led the indices Sensex and Nifty to close below crucial levels of 19000 and 5700 respectively
Major headlines
  • Inflation rises to 8.43% in December
  • HDFC Q3 net profit jumps 33%
  • Zee Entertainment Q3 consolidated net profit at Rs155 crore
Indian indices
Volatility continued to rule the market in today?s session as well. Sensex breaches 19000 for the first time since November 2010. The Domestic indices witnessed another session that saw the key indices breaching significant levels. Sensex and Nifty broke the significant levels of 19000 and 5700 respectively. Interest rate sensitive sectors witnessed strong selling pressure on the back of rising inflation worries as Government data showed that inflation rose to 8.43% in December as compared to 7.48% in previous month. 

Rising Inflation increased the fear that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is most likely to raise interest rates in its upcoming policy meet scheduled on January 25, 2010. Metal Stocks also took a beating on the fears of China?s monetary tightening. China hiked its Reserve Requirement ratio by 50 basis points after market hours. 

Among large-caps, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, HDFC Bank, Maruti Suzuki, Larsen & Toubro, SAIL and Axis Bank plunged 2.5-6%. Heavyweights Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, BHEL and State Bank of India were down 0.8-1.7%.
