Mkts display high volatility; Sensex ends -79 points: Sify.Com
Thanks to hectic buying in a few blue chip stocks including State Bank of India, Maruti Suzuki, ACC, ICICI Bank and Bajaj Auto during the fag end of the session, the Sensex, which was struggling deep down in the red for a long time today, very nearly settled in the positive zone.
Though it opened on a positive note and spurted 142 points to 18,744.55 in early trade this morning, the Sensex tumbled into the red soon as weak global markets and heavy outflow of funds in recent sessions dampened the mood and knocked the wind out of several blue chip stocks. The market then witnessed a few smart intra-day rallies with one blue chip or the other recording an impressive surge every now and then.
The indices had a roller-coaster ride as every sharp rally was followed by an equally sharp setback, and this trend was visible almost till the end of the session today. Still, the barometer's final loss of 76.30 points or 0.41% was quite negligible considering the fact that it was down with a staggering loss of nearly 420 points at 18,182.83 at one stage this afternoon.
While the Sensex ended the session at 18,526.32, the Nifty finished at 5519.35 with a loss of 0.75% or 41.70 points. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty hit a high of 5608.65 and a low of 5394.35. State Bank of India ended with a handsome gain of 4.05% at Rs 2241.80. ACC (2.25%), ICICI Bank (2.2%), Bajaj Auto (2.1%), Maruti Suzuki (1.65%) and Hindalco (1.05%) also closed on a firm note.

Sensex nosedives 678 pts at close, Other stories: Sify.Com
The bears tasted success for the fifth successive session today as weak global markets, rising crude oil prices and reports of a possible hike in securities transaction tax provided a perfect platform for them to launch a massive attack on stocks. Stocks across the board felt the heat today. Information technology stocks were the outperformers thanks to some strong buying in a few heavyweights including Infosys Technologies and Tata Consultancy Services. But then, a severe bout of pressure in late afternoon trade knocked the wind out of these stocks as well.
Metal, bank, realty, capital goods, power and oil stocks melted. There was no respite for stocks from midcap and smallcap segments either. Mirroring the massive erosion in values of its components, the benchmark BSE index Sensex went crashing down to a low of 18,515.30 in afternoon trade. The barometer, which had opened with a negative gap of around 83 points at 19,197.57 this morning, ended the day with a massive loss of 678.18 points or 3.52% at 18,602.62.
The Nifty, which plunged to a low of 5530.85, settled at 5561.05 with a big loss of 3.8% or 219.85 points. While the Sensex drew a blank with none of its components making it to the positive territory, the Nifty had two stocks, Hero Honda (1.6%) and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma (0.6%) in the positive zone when the session ended today. HCL Technologies settled at its previous closing price.
NTPC, which lost a little over 8%, was the biggest loser in the Sensex today. BHEL went down by 6.3%. ITC, Maruti Suzuki, Reliance Energy, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India and Larsen & Toubro lost 5% - 6%. Hindalco and Tata Steel, the metal majors, closed lower by 4.9% and 4.35% respectively. Realty major DLF, a recent entrant to the Sensex fold, ended with a loss of 4.1%. Reliance Communications, Grasim Industries, Ranbaxy Laboratories, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, HDFC Bank, Wipro, Cipla, ONGC and index heavyweight Reliance Industries lost 2% - 4% today.
Hindustan Unilever, HDFC, Infosys Technologies, Satyam Computer Services and Tata Consultancy Services also closed with sharp losses. ACC, Ambuja Cements, Bajaj Auto and Bharti Airtel lost 0.3% - 0.6%.
