Sensex ends a tad above 14,900; Sterlite Industries tanks
Key benchmark indices ended a choppy session lower weighed down by weak Asian markets. The BSE 30-share Sensex declined 44.21 points. Firm European markets triggered a sharp recovery in afternoon trade, lifting the Sensex to positive zone but the market once again slipped into the red on fresh selling at higher level. The market breadth was negative.
Sterlite Industries tumbled 8%. Tata Motors was under pressure throughout the day, sliding around 4%. On the positive side Bharti Airtel and Maruti Suzuki India added over 2% each. Telecom pivotals were in demand. Capital goods heavyweights saw divergent trend. Refinery and sugar stocks bucked weak market trend.
