    Let’s take a quick glance at what happened on Dalal Street today.

    Domestic equity markets continued its losing streak as benchmark indices dropped after Thursday trauma. Traders pushed the panic button after inflationary concerns, which led to sharp selloff. The weak global cues intensified the selling pressure. Investors got nervous over possible faster-than-expected tightening signals. Inflation in the US rose at the fastest clip in more than 30 years in October. The BSE barometer Sensex shed more than 430 points to close at 59,920. The benchmark index staged a 260 points recovery from the day's low. Its broader peer, Nifty50, tanked about 145 points to end the day just below 17,875 mark. The index had tested 17,800-level during the session. Broader markets outperformed the headline peers but BSE midcap and smallcap indices shed over half a per cent each. Fear gauge India VIX registered a marginal jump.

    On BSE Sensex, only half a dozen stocks settled in green. Titan jumped 2 per cent followed by M&M which added a percent. Reliance, TCS, IndusInd Bank and Tata Steel were other stocks which registered gains at the closing bell. On the other hand, SBI tanked 3 per cent, followed by a 2 per cent decline each in Bajaj Finserv, Tech Mahindra, Sun Pharma and Bajaj Finance.

    Asian Paints, Axis Bank, HDFC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Power Grid, ICICI Bank, HUL and Airtel dropped a percent each. L&T, HCL Tech, Maruti and Ultratech Cement registered a significant fall. More than 340 stocks hit upper circuit limits for the day and about 175 stocks hit the lower circuit. Over 100 stocks tested their 52-week highs during the session.
