MARKET UPDATE:Sensex slipped 240 points to 34,850-mark and Nifty slipped below the 10,300 mark

Equity markets in India dipped over half a percent today (29th June 2020), in line with the trends in other Asian markets. The Standard and Poor’s warning that the Indian economy is in deep trouble also weighed on investor sentiment. The rater has projected the Indian economy's growth to contract by 5 percent this fiscal. The headline index S&P BSE Sensex slipped 240 points to 34,850-mark and the broader Nifty50 index slipped below the 10,300 marks. Among individual stocks, Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, and Bajaj Finance all slid over 3 percent each. Notably, S&P had downgraded the ratings of both Axis Bank and Bajaj Finance during the weekend. On the other hand, shares of ITC rose as much as 4 percent after the announcement of its March quarter results. The trend among Nifty sectoral indices was largely negative, led by the Nifty Bank index, down 1.9 percent. On the other hand, the Nifty Pharma index was up 1 percent.

Five hundred and eighty-six companies including MRF, Bharat Forge, and GMR Infra, are scheduled to announce their March quarter earnings today.
