SENSEX closes below 20000 mark -down 289 points

Weak global stock market cues provided no support to Indian stock indices today as major indian stock markets like Bombay Stock Exchange and national Stock Exchange closed under 20000 mark and nosedived by over one percent at closing today.

The 30 component Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex closed at 19,929.08, down by a whopping 239.81 points. The benchmark index touched a low of 19,923.96 during intraday trading. The large caps or SENSEX components are currently governed by Foreign Institutional Investors and shows very little sentiments of Indian investors, The reason is that SENSEX components stock prices have gone beyond the levels of individual investors which is evident with the rise in midcap and Small cap stock prices today. Global stock markets are today trading lower by over 1 percent as weak results from IBM and Apple Inc dissapointed the investors. Currently I would call that Indian stock Indices particularly 30 component SENSEX and NIFTY are at mercy of Foreign Investors who sell stock if US Stock markets are down WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR INDIAN STOCK MARKETS.

The smaller stock indices like BSE Midcap Index and BSE Smallcap Index closed up 0.24 percent each.

Sector wise performance for today is as follows:
Apart from BSE Healthcare Index upward movement(which got boosted by Biocon Pfizer deal) BSE IT Index fell 2.22 percent today at closing, BSE Realty Index slipped 1.75 percent and BSE Metal Index declined 1.25 percent.
