Domestic Market:
The domestic equity barometers took a significant tumble Friday, extending their losing streak to five days. The Nifty closed below the 24,200 level, dragged by consumer durables, energy and metal shares. The recent "buy on dips" strategy, which had been a reliable tactic for the past few years, is now faltering in the face of sustained FII selling and a weakening global economic outlook. Factors such as rising bond yields, a strengthening dollar, and uncertainty surrounding the US election are also contributing to the market's decline.
The S&P BSE Sensex, dropped 662.87 points or 0.83% to 79,402.29. The Nifty 50 index slipped 218.60 points or 0.90% to 24,180.80. The 50-unit index fell 2.71% in the past five sessions.
