Once again, it turned out to be a black Friday for Dalal-Street. Domestic indices witnessed a bloodbath and plunged to the lowest level since August 2010. Heavy sell-off across the board was witnessed in the last hour of trade. 

The market?s downfall actually began after it hit the day?s high levels of 18542 on the Sensex and 5556 on the Nifty. In the last hour of morning session?s trade, the indices slipped back into the negative terrain and they never recovered from that fall. The free fall led the Nifty to slip below another crucial level of 5400. Sensex, on the other hand, slumped 14% from the record highs of November 05, 2010, exceeding the 10% slump that signifies a large correction.

Amongst Nifty stocks, only Bajaj Auto ended positive. Mahindra & Mahindra, ITC, Hindalco, L&T, Reliance Infrastructure, Sun Pharma and Kotak Mahindra were top losers with 4-6% fall.

Auto, Power, Oil & Gas, Healthcare and Metal indices tanked over 1.5%. Broader indices too participated in the fall - the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices lost over 1% each.
