Indian Indices Extend Losses; Healthcare Sector Down 3.4% Tue, 23 May 11:30 am
After opening the day marginally lower, the Indian share markets witnessed losses and went on to trade in the red. Sectoral indices are trading on a negative note with stocks from the healthcare sector and the realty sector witnessing maximum selling pressure.
The BSE Sensex is trading down 166 points (down 0.5%) and the NSE Nifty is trading down 50 points (down 0.5%). Meanwhile, the BSE Mid Cap index is trading down by 1.8%, while the BSE Small Cap index is trading down 2.2%. The rupee is trading at 64.75 to the US$.
Indian share markets are trading on a cautious note today following mixed global cues. Most of the volatility is seen on the back of a terror attack in the UK, F&O expiry, and quarterly result announcements.
On the sectoral front, banking stocks are witnessing selling pressure today. Losses are expected as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said that it will increase the number of members in the oversight committee which presides over the restructuring proposals.
The central bank, in its action plan to implement the Banking Regulation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2017, also said that it will expand the scope of the committee beyond the so-called scheme for sustainable structuring of stressed assets (S4A).
