The Indian market slipped further for the second straight day to close deeper into red. Market shed more than 3% as investors are skeptic about the domestic as well as global economy. Lack of confidence among domestic investors, huge selling by foreign funds and recession fears aggravated the situation. The relaxation of ECB norms by the RBI failed to benefit the investor’s sentiment. Domestic market opened sharply lower on weak global cues as credit concerns had become strong in the emerging markets. Though the markets pared off its early losses in the afternoon, it could not sustain due to huge selling pressure.
Eased inflation number and finance ministers’ comment that Sebi has asked FIIs to reverse short positions, also contributed a bit to the rebound. Sustained selling again hammered markets to end with sharp losses. NSE Nifty ended below 3,000 mark and BSE Sensex closed below 9,800 level. From the sectoral front, Metal index was worst performer as it ended with a deep cut of more than 11%. Besides, Oil & Gas, Auto, Bank, Pharma and Reality stocks also took huge beating on the bourses. However, Capital Goods and Consumer Durable stocks ended with gains.
