Sensex slips


Indian equity benchmarks continued to trade lower with Sensex losing over 100 points on the back of profit booking, though showed some recovery from day's low. Auto, technology, capital goods, cement and banking stocks were putting pressure on the market.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was trading at 16,358, down 140 points and the 50-share NSE Nifty fell 38 points to 4,911.
However, the uptrend in ONGC, Hindalco, HUL, Sterlite, SAIL, Reliance Communications, DLF, Power Grid, Ranbaxy and Reliance Infrastructure has limited the downside.
About 1466 shares advanced while 1229 shares declined on BSE.
Most active shares were SBI, Lovable Lingerie, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Coal India, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank.
