Shares trade with significant cuts; Infosys outperforms

8 Mar 2022 , 01:30 PM

The key equity benchmarks continued to trade with significant cuts in afternoon trade. The Nifty was trading below the 15,700 mark.

At 13:29 IST, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, declined 512.84 points or 0.97% to 52,329.91. The Nifty 50 index lost 175.40 points or 1.11% at 15,687.75.

The broader market bucked weak trend. The S&P BSE Mid-Cap index fell 0.61% while the S&P BSE Small-Cap index shed 0.32%.

The market breadth was positive. On the BSE, 1,618 shares rose and 1,581 shares fell. A total of 129 shares were unchanged.

Soaring crude oil prices due to ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis continued to spook investors. India imports majority of its crude oil requirements. A spike in crude oil prices has raised concerns over the impact on inflation, currency and input cost for companies across sectors. Higher crude oil prices could increase Indias expenditure and adversely affects the fiscal deficit.
