The Sensex corrected down 118 points in today?s trading. | | | | | | Major headlines | - RIL to be debt-free this year: Mukesh Ambani

- Indian services growth slides to 20-month low - PMI
| Indian indices The Indian markets carried previous sessions? losses amid global weakness, with oil & gas, and metal shares among the major draggers. However, some buying in capital goods and consumer durables shares provided some respite. The market had registered gains in the morning trade led by short covering and a rally in RIL ahead of its 37th annual general meeting (AGM). But the gains failed to sustain, as the AGM turned out into a damp squib. The indices reversed direction after hitting three-week highs in early trade, as index heavyweight RIL gave away intraday gains. The data showing a slowdown in growth in the services sector also weighed on the sentiment. The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) stocks staged a comeback after a plea was dismissed by a Delhi Court for making Anil Ambani as one of the accused in the 2G spectrum scam case. Oil & gas and metal stocks were the biggest losers in today's trade while capital goods and consumer durables made moderate gains. The Sensex began the session 60 points higher ahead of RIL?s 37th AGM. The market was positive, seemed like it would post a good bounce with the Sensex hitting the day?s high at 18673. But the index could not sustain the gains and entered into the negative zone amid volatility in the second half of trade, erasing over 300 points from the day?s highs to hit the day?s low at 18346 owing to selling pressure in heavyweights. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | Manappuram General | 122.95 | 5.45 | | Sun TV Network | 283.45 | 4.17 | | | | Sterling International | 291.95 | -9.99 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The markets closed with moderate losses, with the Sensex closing 118 points lower at 18376.
