Sensex extends losses

February 24, 2016 10:33

Benchmark Sensex remained on edge as it fell further by about 155 points (10:30am) in early trade today, extending yesterday's fall, on sustained capital outflows by foreign funds and selling by retail investors amid subdued Asian shares.

There was caution among investors ahead of the derivatives expiry and the railway budget tomorrow.

The 30-share index, which had lost 379 points in the previous session, plunged to 23,251, a fall of 155 points.

The NSE Nifty cracked below the 7,100-mark, by falling 47.10 points, or 0.66 per cent, to 7,062.45.

All sectoral indices led by metal, bank and PSU slipped into the negative zone with a fall of up to 1.93 per cent.

Brokers said market sentiment was fragile following FII pullout as Asia turned decisively weaker following lacklustre European and US economic data and a drop in oil prices.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 1.37 per cent, while Japan's Nikkei shed 0.65 per cent in early trade today.
