Sensex, Nifty Fall By About 1% On Sluggish Global Cues; RIL, Infosys Weigh

The Sensex and Nifty lost over 1 percent on Thursday due to continued foreign capital outflows amid a broadly unfavorable trend in global markets.

The Nifty slid 192.90 points or 0.98 percent to 19,523.55.

Asian Paints, Wipro, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Infosys, ITC, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hindustan Unilever, IndusInd Bank, Reliance Industries and JSW Steel were the Sensex pack’s worst losers, falling 4.59 percent.

Larsen & Toubro, Bharti Airtel, Power Grid, and Axis Bank, on the other hand, benefited.

In Asian markets, Shanghai closed higher, but Tokyo and Hong Kong fell. South Korean share market was closed for the holiday.

European markets were trading in the red.

On Wednesday, the US markets ended on a mixed note.

Brent crude sank 0.38 percent to USD 96.18 per barrel.
