2 min read 09 Jun 2023, 04:27 PM ISTSensex and Nifty 50 end lower as focus shifts to upcoming economic data, including CPI inflation and IIP. IT, FMCG, consumer durables, and metal stocks were top laggards.
Sensex and Nifty 50 extended their selling bias on Friday as the focus now shifts to economic data such as CPI inflation, WPI, and IIP which will be released next week. Expectations of further moderation in CPI have taken rounds especially after RBI refrained from giving a steeper cut in the inflation target. The market ended the week on a negative note with a marginal downside.
On Friday, IT, FMCG, consumer durables, and metal stocks were top laggards, while capital goods are top gainers.
Sensex ended at 62,625.63, down by 223.01 points or 0.35%. Nifty 50 ended at 18,563.40 lower by 71.15 points or 0.38%.
Talking about markets performance, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, “The domestic market witnessed extended selling pressure as investors eagerly awaited the domestic inflation data due on Monday as the RBI refrained from an aggressive cut in their inflation forecast."
About 1,679 stocks advanced, while 1,862 stocks declined and the 107 stocks were unchanged. A total 170 stocks touched a new 52-week high, while 31 stocks hit a new 52-week low.
As of June 9, 2023, BSE-listed firms market cap was around ₹286.73 lakh crore.
