| February 01, 2013 | 5:30 PM | A weak start to February month: Sensex loses 114 pts; Nifty ends below 6K There was no improvement in the market's mood as the key indices extended losses on continuous selling pressure with the Sensex losing 114 pts and the Nifty ending 36 points lower in trade today. | | | | | | Major headlines | | Indian indices The key indices started on a positive note but failed to maintain the same and slipped sharply in the afternoon session after trading in a tight range amid volatility and swung between gains and losses. Heavy selling in Tata Motors, Bharti Airtel, ONGC, Hindalco and Sterlite Industries dragged markets lower. The broader markets too ended lower. Investors remained cautious as index heavyweights like BHEL, Bharti Airtel and Corporation Bank posted disappointing Q3 results today. It was a second straight fall for markets as selling intensified. Further the positive opening of European indices had no major impact on Indian bourses. Movement of the Indian indices for the day: The Indian markets opened in the green on the first day of February, which also marks the beginning of a new futures and option series but failed to maintain the initial gains till the end. The indices were trading in the green zone till the late morning session, but the markets witnessed reversal trend and ended the day with losses. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | | | Pidilite Industries | 245.90 | 5.99 | | | Corporation Bank | 427.85 | -6.21 | | | Jaiprakash Associates | 83.30 | -4.20 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sensex hit the intraday low at 19736.45 in the afternoon trade. The positive global cues could not create major impact on the domestic markets. Adding further, Indian equity benchmarks surrendered to profit-booking and gave up all morning gains in afternoon trade. Markets traded lower on back of selling pressure witnessed in index stocks such as Bharti Airtel and Bharat Heavy Electricals after below estimate Oct-Dec results.
