Sensex Slips To 51703, Nifty Ends At 15208 On Weak Global Cues

Amid weakness in the global markets, indices have extended their losses to over 300 points on the Sensex. All of the Nifty indices barring metal, PSU Bank, media and auto traded negative. And PSU Banks were the outliers in trade today gaining over 6 percent and extending gains on some of the PSBs to the extent of 20 percent intra-day. Broader indices also performed with gains in an otherwise weak market.

At the end, Sensex closed weak by 400 points, while Nifty was dragged to 15200 points.
