| Indian indices On a credit policy day, the key benchmark indices closed on a negative note despite Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s rate hike came on expected lines. Cautious investors took profits off the table, which put pressure on the markets. All-round weakness in global equities amid increasing worries over Greece's worsening fiscal health and a slowdown in the US economy further dragged the Indian markets. The key indices stood at three-week low, with the Sensex below 18000 and the Nifty below 5400. The biggest drag on the market was Reliance Industries, which was at 23-month low. After briefly bouncing back into the positive territory post the RBI's policy announcement, the markets slipped again owing to continuous selling in rate sensitives, technology, capital goods and metal stocks. Negative contributors to the Sensex were TCS, L&T, Wipro, Infosys, HDFC Bank and Cipla. The broader indices were outperforming the Sensex .BSE Smallcap index was down 0.54% while BSE Midcap index was down 0.71%. Sensex movements: Global weakness led the Sensex to open the trade at 18060, down by 72 points. The index remained nervous ahead of RBI policy. As soon as the RBI's move came as per estimates, the index witnessed some gains and touched the day's high of 18155 in early afternoon trade. However, the gains were limited as the Sensex slipped again, extending losses to hit the day's low of 17959 in late trade. The Sensex fell 146 points to close at 17986 and the Nifty shut shop at 5397, down by 51 points. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | Sun TV Network | 358.20 | 11.21 | | Century Textiles | 359.30 | 6.02 | | | | Crompton Greaves | 259.30 | -4.93 | | Ambuja Cements | 125.80 | -4.62 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Market Outlook: Weekly Jobless Claims and Philadelphia Fed Survey will be out in the US on Thursday. | Market sentiment The market breadth stood weak as 1,744 stocks tumbled and 1,085 rose.
