Sensex and Nifty ended lower on Thursday after advancing for four
consecutive sessions as investors took to profit booking. Investors also
treaded with caution ahead of Q4 results from index heavyweight
Reliance Industries.
Jet Airways was in the spotlight throughout
the day over its steep fall. Jet's scrip closed 32 per cent lower on the
BSE, 32.23 per cent lower at Rs 163.90 apiece after it fell up to Rs
158.10 after "temporary suspension of domestic and international
operations" over the refusal of lenders to provide emergency funding.
"Negative
Asian markets impacted the market sentiments as Japanese manufacturing
activity contracted at a slightly slower pace in April thanks to a
pick-up in hiring, a flash PMI survey showed, but new export orders fell
at the fastest pace in almost three years in a sign slow global demand
remains a major pressure point," said Deepak Jasani of HDFC Securities.
The
BSE Sensex closed 135 points or 0.34 per cent lower at 39,140.28 and
the broader Nifty settled 34.35 points lower or 0.29 per cent to
11,752.80.
"Investors turned cautious ahead of announcement of
results from key index heavyweights including large corporate banks.
Consolidation was broad-based with PSU banks and metals
underperforming," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial
Services.
"Despite mixed flows from DIIs, the downside was capped by positive flows from FIIs given a good start to Q4 results."
"The
accelerating scenario of a slowdown in global growth as also the
definitive prospects of higher fuel prices and a weaker currency may
also be working on the minds of the market participants at this
juncture," said Joseph Thomas-Head Research, Emkay Wealth Management.
The
top gainers on the Sensex were Reliance Industries followed by Tata
Motors, Tata Motors (DVR), Asian Paints and TCS. The laggards were Yes
Bank declining over 4 per cent followed by Vedanta, IndusInd Bank, Tata
Steel and Larsen and Toubro.
