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.
