Wednesday
Domestic stock markets were unable to maintain their early gains on Wednesday, and both BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty closed down. Stock markets have plunged on profit-booking amid weak global trends. According to traders, the rupee depreciation has weakened investor sentiment. The 30-share Sensex had a good start but was under pressure in the afternoon trading. In the end, it fell 333.93 points, or 0.64 per cent, to 51,941.64.
