Closing Bell: Sensex Falls by 750 Pts; Nifty Nears 22,000; Lt, Coal India Top Looser

BSE Sensex declined 419 points to 73,046 and Nifty declined 128 points to 22,173 on Thursday, May 9 amid soaring volatility and selling pressure by foreign investors. Nifty Midcap fell 187 points to 47,834 and Nifty Midcap slipped 223 points to 49,812. Oil & gas emerged as top sectoral loser in trade today.

Shares of Jupiter Wagons Ltd soared 8% on BSE after reporting healthy quarterly earnings.

On the BSE pack, M&M, Maruti Suzuki, SBI, HCL and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the top winners whereas the top 5 losers were Bajaj Finance, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, Wipro and Tata Steel.

The trajectory of Gift Nifty indicates that the key indices will begin on Thursday on a flat tone following a volatile day on Wednesday. Technically, the index constructed a slight bullish candlestick and discovered support close to the 50-DEMA. The index did, however, close below the 21-DEMA (22,403) and 34-DEMA (22,344) barriers. Ahead of China's April trade data and Japan's pay figures, trade in the Asia-Pacific markets was sloppy during the early session. In the domestic market, investors are likely to closely watch PSU giants like SBI, HPCL, BPCL and Indian Overseas Bank as they are going to declare their Q4 results today whereas the shares of Bank of Baroda may also witness price fluctuations as the RBI informed the Bank of Baroda in a letter dated May 8, 2024, that it had decided to ease up the limitations on Bob World. As a result, the Bank is now free to register customers using the Bob World application in compliance with the relevant guidelines and current laws and regulations.
