On the sectoral front, IT and FMCG segments were major gainers.
According to market experts, “slowing economic growth projections and caution ahead of Q3 numbers added volatility in the market,”
“However, the market witnessed a recovery from the day’s low owing to accumulation of beaten-down blue-chip stocks and in expectation of government reforms in the upcoming budget to lift the tepid economy.”
“The near-term sentiment is likely to be subdued due to the rise in US bond yield and fear of fewer rate cuts by the Fed,” they added.
In the Sensex pack, UltraTech Cement, L&T, Sun Pharma, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, NTPC, SBI, Zomato, Titan, Tata Steel and M&M were the top losers. Whereas, TCS, ITC, Asian Paints, HCL Tech, Maruti Suzuki, Bharti Airtel, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Hindustan Unilever, PowerGrid, Nestle India and Tata Motors were the top gainers.
