S&P BSE MidCap and S&P BSE SmallCap, too suffered losses during today's session as both the indices finished lower by 1%.

Asian markets seesawed on Tuesday, with China stocks closing slightly higher after opening the week with huge losses as investors were wary about Beijing's economic policies and slowing economy. The Shanghai Composite was choppy before ending the day in the positive territory with a 0.2% gain. Meanwhile, Japanese stocks slipped 2.7% weighed down by plunging crude oil prices. European markets are broadly trading higher today with shares in Germany leading the region. The DAX is up 1.45%, while France's CAC 40 is up 1.08% and London's FTSE 100 is up 0.49%.

Software stocks languished in the red today with TCS and HCL Technologies bearing majority of the brunt.

The stock price of the company has increased (Subscription Required) by 17% in the last three months.

According to a leading financial daily, consumer inflation probably edged up for the fifth straight month in December driven by higher food prices. Retail inflation has been picking up since August, mainly due to a surge in prices of items like lentils. This complicates the central bank's task of steering monetary policy at a time of international deflation.

Reportedly, the government has revised its economic growth target to 7-7.5% for the fiscal year that ends on 31 March from an earlier estimate of 8.1-8.5%, due to weak farm output and declining exports. A drought in many parts of the country for the second year has hit production of rice, sugar, cotton and other crops, forcing the government to resort to imports to tame prices.

Consumer prices likely rose 5.6% in December from a year earlier. Industrial output, however, slowed to 2.3% in November compared with a year earlier and from a 9.8% rise in the previous month. Infrastructure output, which accounts for more than a third of factory activity, shrank 1.3% in the year in November, its first fall in seven months.
