5th Feb 2010 Market Closing 3.51pm:


It was a terrible day of trade today - gap down, negative global cues and selling pressure. There was no place to hide and all sectors got thrashed with realty, metal, auto and banking stocks bearing the deepest cuts. Sensex closed at 15774, down 450 points and Nifty at 4714, down 130 points from the previous close. CNX Midcap index was down 2.39% and BSE Smallcap index was up 3.23%. The market breadth was negative . BSE Metal was the major looser. A late sell-off in the index pivotals pulled the key benchmark indices to the day's . 110 stocks were gainers while 1187 stocks were losers. The European jitters again sent the markets towards bearish trend since yesterday.
Among the gainers Tatapower was a gainer at 0.63%
And Hindalco was the top loser at 5.47%.
