Falling for fifth day running, BSE Sensex tanked 522.82 points, or 0.81 per cent, to settle at 64,049.06

New Delhi:

Over ₹2 lakh crore of investors’ wealth has been wiped out on a single day of trading today. They also became poorer by over ₹14 lakh crore in just five days as markets fell amid global tensions sparked by the Israel-Gaza war and its effects in the Middle East.

Falling for the fifth day running, the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 522.82 points, or 0.81 per cent, to settle at 64,049.06.

The Nifty fell 159.60 points or 0.83 per cent to 19,122.15.

Overseas investors turned net sellers of Indian equities today as they sold ₹4,236.60 crore, and domestic investors bought ₹3,569.36 crore.

Foreign institutions have been net buyers of ₹1,10,584 crore worth of Indian equities so far in 2023, according to data from the National Securities Depository Ltd, updated till the previous trading day.

Among the Sensex firms, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, NTPC, IndusInd Bank, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors, Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finance, Tech Mahindra, Titan, and Axis Bank were among those whose shares fell.

Tata Steel, State Bank of India, Maruti, Mahindra & Mahindra, Nestle, and JSW Steel gained.

“Investor sentiment is on the edge as tensions in West Asia continue to drag the market. Despite a drop in oil prices and an optimistic view of the progressing Q2 results season, investors took a cautious approach due to the expectation that a higher interest rate scenario would continue slowing future growth,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, told news agency PTI.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.30 per cent to $88.32 per barrel.

In Asian markets, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong settled in green, while Seoul ended lower. European markets were trading in the negative territory. The US markets ended in the green on Tuesday.

There was no equity trading yesterday due to Dussehra.

The S&P BSE Sensex closed down 523 points, or 0.81 per cent, at 64,049.06, while the NSE Nifty 50 was 160 points or 0.83 per cent lower at 19,122.15.

to reduce retail inflation RBI Bulletin: Examining the Impact of Monetary Policy and Supply-Side Interventions on Retail Inflation [ad_1] <!– –>RBI Bulletin said tightening financial conditions is major risk to global outlook (Representational)Mumbai: A Reserve Bank Bulletin on Thursday said retail inflation has moderated due to monetary policy action and supply-side interventions, but “we are not out of the woods yet and have miles to go”.An article on the state of the economy in the November Bulletin also noted that the global economy is showing signs of slowing down in the ongoing quarter as manufacturing languishes while services sector activity appears to have reached the end of its post-pandemic expansion.Going forward, it said tightening financial conditions is a significant risk to the global outlook.”In India, the momentum of the change in GDP is sequentially expected to be higher in Q3, 2023-24, with festival demand remaining ebullient,” the article authored by a team lead by RBI Deputy Governor Michael Debabrata Patra said.The authors said investment demand appears to be resilient with the government’s infrastructure spending, an uptick in private capex, automation, digitalisation, and indigenisation providing a boost.Referring to the headline inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI), the article said a combination of monetary policy action and supply-side interventions guided inflation down from the high reaches to which it had climbed through the first seven months of 2022-23.In fact, November 2022 was the first month when headline inflation dropped back into the RBI’s tolerance band of 2-6 percent in the whole calendar year.”We are not out of the woods yet and have miles to go, but readings of around 5 percent and 4.9 percent in September and October, respectively, are a welcome relief from the average of 6.7 percent in 2022-23 and 7.1 percent in July-August 2023,” it said.The RBI, however, said the views expressed in the article are of the authors and do not represent the views of the central bank.The article further said India’s external sector has remained viable, with a modest Current Account Deficit (CAD) financed by resilient capital flows, one of the least volatile currencies in the world and a healthy level of foreign exchange reserves.The momentum of growth has picked up, taking GDP well above pre-pandemic levels to becoming the fifth largest economy in the world at market exchange rates, it added.”Steadfast policy initiatives are showing results, with the financial sector exhibiting soundness and supporting the credit needs of a resurgent economy,” it said.The 37th edition of the State of the Economy article marks the third year of its revival after a long hiatus of 25 years.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)Waiting for response to load… [ad_2]
