Bears took complete control on D-Street, as benchmark indices shed nearly 2 percent. Weak global cues, reactions to exit polls as well as weak macro data weighed big on Sensex and the Nifty.
The 50-share index ended the session below 10,500.
Selling was visible across all sectors, with maximum pain seen among banks, automobiles, energy, consumption and pharmaceuticals, among others.
At the close of market hours, the Sensex was down 713.53 points or 2.00% at 34959.72, and the Nifty down 205.20 points or 1.92% at 10488.50. The market breadth was negative as 647 shares advanced, against a decline of 1870 shares, while 134 shares were unchanged.
Coal India, Maruti Suzuki, IOC and BPCL were the top gainers, while Kotak Mahindra Bank, Reliance Industries, and Indiabulls Housing lost the most.
Concerns over global economic growth, along with re-escalating US-China trade war issue pushed US stock futures and Asian markets lower. The Indian market, too, followed suit, opening with a gap-down.
Adding to the woes of bulls were higher crude oil prices, as OPEC and its allies decided to cut supplies by 1.2 million barrels per day.
“Market had turned cautious awaiting the final outcome of the state election, as a precursor to the general election. Unfavourable exit poll results for the ruling party has impacted the sentiment of the market today and this dullness will continue as tomorrow’s final outcome confirms their losing strength. On the other hand if results are not bad as being anticipated today, could save the mood,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said in a statement.
