Nifty struggles at 5100 on weak Asian cues; banks dip
At 11:12 hours IST, the Nifty was consolidating at previous closing value as today is the last day of November series. The sell-off in heavyweights like Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, BHEL, ITC, Infosys, SBI, HDFC Bank and L&T was keeping the markets on the lower side. However, buying in telecom, cement and realty stocks along with Sterlite, Hindalco, Wipro, Hero Honda and HUL was helping the benchmark indices. Siemens was up over 1% ahead of its results.
Weak Asian markets also weighted on the markets. Shanghai lost 1.7%. Jakarta and Hang Seng fell 1% each. Nikkei and Straits Times were down 0.5% each. Kospi and Taiwan Weighted fell 0.2% each.
The Sensex slipped 50 points to 17,148 and the Nifty declined 16 points to 5,092. The Nifty December future was trading with 11 points premium.
