Stocks traded with a negative bias during early hours on Thursday amid mixed global cues and oil prices hovering at a five-month low.
Among stocks, Jet Airways dragged 15 per cent down to Rs 93.95 per share after the NSE in its circular informed that shares of the grounded airline will be removed from daily trading of futures and options effective June 28. Yes Bank tumbled 8.8 per cent after a series of downgrades by global rating agencies in recent weeks.
Indiabulls Housing Finance slipped 5.5 per cent in the morning trade, a day after the company approached Supreme Court seeking that the case is heard urgently given that allegations against the company were causing a massive decline in its stock price and market cap.
Vedanta, Tata Steel and JSW Steel also dropped between 1.5 and 2.4 per cent.
Those which showed small gains were Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Larsen & Toubro, Asian Paints, Tata Consultancy Services and Zee Entertainment.
