Sensex ends 0.41 per cent down

Mumbai, Dec 11: A benchmark index of the Indian equities markets ended trade on a weak note on Friday, slipping 0.41 per cent after lower than expected industrial production data acted as a dampner. Banking, telecom and realty stocks came under selling pressure.

The country’s industrial output is projected to have expanded 10.3 per cent in October, as per the latest official data released on Friday, lower than what analysts had predicted.

The sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 17,199.74 points and rose more than 162 points during the morning session, ended trade at 17,119.03 points, down 70.28 points or 0.41 per cent from its previous close at 17,189.31 points. At the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the broader 50-share S&P CNX Nifty too ended in the red at 5,117.3 points, against the previous close at 5,134.65 points, a loss of 17.35 points or 0.34 per cent.
