Published On : 06 Dec 2017


Mumbai,(PTI) Benchmark Nifty trimmed losses during fag-end trade to close marginally lower today following selling in metal, realty, IT, auto and infra stocks.

Overseas, most European shares declined as investors digested the latest news surrounding Brexit talks and monitored fresh economic data. Asian shares fell as technology shares mirrored a sell-off in US tech companies.

The NSE Nifty opened lower at 10,118.25 and moved in a range of 10,147.95 and 10,069.10, before ending at 10,118.25, down by 9.50 points, or 0.09 percent from its last close.

It saw an intra-day movement of 78.85 points.

The market breadth, indicating its overall health, was in favour of losers. On the NSE, 682 shares advanced, 1,072 declined, while 67 remained unchanged.

Total securities that hit their price bands were 191.

Turnover in the cash segment rose to Rs 25,495.51 crore from Rs 24,739.63 crore on Monday.
