Benchmark indices ended lower taking cues from the recent developments in the banking sector and the fear of trade wars got intense after the resignation of the economic advisor of White House. Banking stocks were under pressure due to the unraveling fraud at Punjab National Bank which could rise beyond USD 2 billion.

The sentiments were hit after the big private banks were being questioned related to this scam. Overall, ITC, Maruti Suzuki, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Asian Paints and Tata Motors were the top gainers whereas; Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, SBI, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and ONGC were the top losers.
