Barometers pare losses; breadth remains weak

27 Jan 2022 , 01:27 PM

The domestic equity barometers pared losses in afternoon trade. The Nifty hovered near the 17,000 mark. Fears of monetary policy tightening, geo-political tensions of Russia invading Ukraine and firm crude oil prices dented investors sentiment.

At 13:25 IST, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, was down 915.98 points or 1.58% to 56,942.17. The Nifty 50 index lost 288.15 points or 1.67% to 16,989.80.

In the broader market, the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index declined 1.94% while the S&P BSE Small-Cap index slipped 1.20%.

The market breadth was weak. On the BSE, 1,175 shares rose and 2,130 shares fell. A total of 98 shares were unchanged.
