Investors withdraw from bank stocks as Moody's downgrades SBI
Key benchmark indices fell for the third straight day as weak global shares, data showing stepping up of selling by foreign funds on Monday, 3 October 2011, and likely muted-to-weak Q2 earnings hit sentiment adversely. The market breadth was weak. The barometer index Sensex hit 20-month low below the psychological 16,000 level. The 50-unit S&P CNX Nifty hit 5-1/2-week low. Except the BSE Capital Goods index, all the other 12 sectoral indices on BSE dropped. The Sensex slumped 286.59 points or 1.77%, up close to 120 points from the day's low and off close to 335 points from the day's high.
