The Indian equity market ended lower in the previous session snapping its six-day winning streak, a day before the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announces the monetary policy. At Close, the Sensex was down 51.73 points or 0.09 per cent at 58,298.80, and the Nifty was down 6.20 points or 0.04 per cent at 17,382.
“Taking positive momentum from the robust US economic data, the domestic market opened with gains, while worries over the US-China conflict kept investors on the defensive, leading to heavy volatility,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
“Weak PMI and trade deficit data witnessed downside pressure on the Indian rupee & equity market. However, sustained foreign interest in Indian equities is led to buying on dips, resulting in a late recovery,” he added.
