BSE: Top losers and gainers

August 21, 2013 17:41 IST


Benchmark indices extended losses for fourth consecutive trading session amid weak global cues, along with metal, FMCG and IT shares leading the sharp decline.

The rupee also hit fresh all-time low, trading around 64.52 per dollar on rising expectations that the US Federal Reserve will soon start withdrawing its monetary stimulus to the US economy.

The 30-share Sensex ended down 340 points at 17,906 after hitting an intra-day low of 17,807 and the 50-share Nifty ended down 99 points at 5,303 after touching an intra-day low of 5,268. Nifty touched the lowest level since September 11, 2012.

The broader market ended lower with BSE Mid-cap index down 1.24% and the Small-cap index ending down 0.82%.
