POST-MARKET SUMMARY 12th August 2024
On a highly volatile day, the Indian benchmark indices ended marginally lower, with Nifty closing below 24,350 after allegations were raised by US-based Hindenburg Research against the capital market regulator SEBI's chairperson.
Despite positive global cues, the market opened on a negative note and extended its losses in the initial hours, dragging Nifty closer to 24,200. However, as the day progressed, the market erased all losses, pushing Nifty near 24,500. Yet, last-hour selling wiped out the recovery gains, leading to a flat close. Among sectors, FMCG, power, PSU Bank, and media were down 0.5-2%, while bank, telecom, IT, oil & gas, metal, and realty gained 0.3-1%.
