| February 14, 2013 | 5:30 PM | Mkts not impressed with ease in inflation; SBI, Tata Motors tank The key indices ended lower today, shrugging off better-than-expected Jan WPI, amid profit booking in auto, financials and telecom stocks. The Sensex shut shop 111 pts lower while the Nifty slipped 36 pts in trade today. | | | | | | Major headlines | | Indian indices The Indian markets started in the green zone today but traded in a tight range for most part of the day amid volatility and swung between gains and losses. Investors remained aloof amid January WPI data which came in at 6.62%. Key benchmarks edged lower in afternoon trade after State Bank of India, country's biggest lender, posted weaker-than-expected third quarter net profit and rise in bad loans exacerbating growth concerns. Heavy selling in index heavyweights like Bharti Airtel, Wipro, Maruti, RIL and L&T dragged markets lower. The broader markets too ended in red with BSE Midcap declining by 1.43% and BSE Smallcap down by 1.86%. Both these indices underperformed Sensex. Movement of the Indian indices for the day: The Indian markets opened today's trading session on a positive note but failed to maintain the initial gains till the end. Selling pressure in majority of the sectors and profit booking in index heavyweights and disappointing SBI numbers weighed on the sentiments which led the markets to float in the red zone. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | | | Eicher Motors | 2,692.75 | 2.77 | | | Opto Circuits | 61.75 | -10.31 | | | Pantaloon Retail | 215.40 | -6.10 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The major event that took place today was the headline inflation rate which moderated to its lowest level in more than three years at 6.62% in January, helped by a slower rise in fuel and manufactured goods prices, which could give policymakers more leeway to revive a slowing economy. The ease in inflation is likely to decide the stance of RBI's monetary policy on March 19. The Sensex closed at 19497.18, down by 110.90 points and the Nifty fell by 36 points to settle at 5896.95 in trade today.
