MARKET UPDATE: Sensex dips 200 points, Nifty below 9,200; Oil marketing companies tumble

Equity markets in India slipped today (6th May 2020) amid mixed global cues, dragged lower by oil marketing companies and FMCG stocks. Oil marketing companies' shares declined after the Centre hiked excise duty on petrol and diesel and asked the OMCs to absorb the price hike. BPCL crashed 9 per cent while HPCL tumbled 10 percent. The S&P BSE Sensex fell 274 points to 31,180 levels while the Nifty50 index gave up 9,200. ITC (down 5%) and Axis Bank (down 4%) were the top Sensex laggards. The Nifty sectoral indices were largely in the red, led by the Nifty FMCG index, down 2.3 per cent. Today, a total of six companies, including YES Bank and Kansai Nerolac Paints, are set to declare their quarterly numbers.
