Benchmark equity indices closed on a flat note with a negative bias on Friday on weak global cues. The S&P BSE Sensex closed 19.41 points down at 35,443, while NSEs Nifty50 closed 0.70 points lower at 10,767. Out of the 5 Nifty constituents, 24 closed in the green and 26 in the red.
Here are movers and shakers of Fridays session:
Sun shines bright
Shares of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries advanced over 8 per cent after the USFDA issued voluntary action indicated (VAI) status to Sun Pharma on its Halol plant. The scrip closed 8.17 per cent up at Rs 528.40. VAI status means though objectionable conditions were found at the plant, the issues do not justify further regulatory action and any corrective action is left to the FDA to take voluntarily.
Vroom Vroom for Tata Motors
Tata Motors reported 24 per cent rise in global sales, including that of Jaguar Land Rover, at 1,07,343 units in May. It had sold 86,385 units in May last year. Shares of the company closed 1.56 per cent up at Rs 310.05.
Peers closed in red
Asian equity markets settled in the red due to sustained selling pressure, as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of G-7 summit starting in Canada later on Friday as well as upcoming policy reviews by the US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan. The high-profile US-North Korea summit was also on top of investors radar. Shanghai Composite, Hang Seng, Jakarta Composite, KLSE Composite, Nikkei225, Straits Times, Kospit and Taiwan dipped up to 1.85 per cent.
Who moved by Sensex
Selling in HDFC duo as well as ITC, ICICI Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Axis Bank, Power Grid, M&M, IndusInd Bank and Asian Paints forced the 30-share index to close marginally in red. However, buying in Sun Pharma, Reliance, Infosys, TCS and State Bank of India capped the downside.
