National Stock Exchange(NSE)

The day at Dalal Street seemed eventful today with a lot of fluctuations recorded on the BSE and NSE graphs. News related to bad loans and North Korean missile attack on Japan did have their say as Sensex recorded a drop of over 350 points to end 1.14% lower at 31,388 points.

Another news which impacted the Sensex performance today included government’s offer of selling 10% stake in NTPC. Along with Sensex, Nifty too dipped down by 116 points to close below 9800. The reading on Nifty at the end of today’s trade read 9776.

NTPC saw one of the biggest dips today and its share price closed 2.80 percent. Other top losers in today’s trade included Sun Pharma (2.35%), Reliance Industries (2.17%), HDFC (2.14%).

Not only the Indian market, the graph at major stock markets internationally saw a decline today on the verge of increasing tensions over the Korean peninsula.
