NAVs end with negative returns

Equity diversified NAVs ended lower with advance:decline ratio of 38:210, as the benchmark index Sensex snapped a four-day rally and closed the session marginally lower. The sell-off in telecom, FMCG, realty, and select power, technology and auto stocks kept the Nifty below the 4,900 in the second half of trade. ONGC was also the biggest loser. However, buying in Reliance Industries, SBI, ICICI Bank, SAIL, Sterlite, TCS and Tata Motors capped the losses to some extent.

The 30-share BSE Sensex closed at 16,440.56, down 58.16 points or 0.35%. The 50-share NSE Nifty lost 0.34% or 16.70 points, to settle at 4,881.70.

All sectoral funds declined. The BSE IT, Healthcare and FMCG indices were down by 0.73%, 0.29% and 0.22%, respectively. However, the BSE Bankex was up just 0.28%.
