January 09, 2013 17:18

The BSE benchmark Sensex today slipped by 76 points to close at one-week low and the NSE Nifty ended below the 6,000-mark on fag-end selling in FMCG, consumer durables, auto and metal shares, ahead of November industrial production data.

The BSE 30-share barometer resumed better and moved in a narrow range till late afternoon trade before succumbing to fag-end selling to settle at 19,666.59, a fall of 75.93 points or 0.38 per cent. This is the lowest closing since 19,426.71 on December 31, 2012.

The broader 50-issue Nifty of the NSE fell back by 30.20 points or 0.50 per cent to end below 6K-mark at 5,971.50.

"A cautious approach ahead of IIP numbers and Q3 results led to the selling pressure," said Nidhi Sarswat, Senior Research Analyst, Bonanza Portfolio.
