Sensex, Nifty today: Losses in banking and financial services stocks pulled the markets lower

Domestic stock markets registered sharp losses on Thursday, continuing the downward movement a day after benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty broke a six-day losing streak. The Sensex index fell as much as 375.02 points to hit 37,802.93 during the session and the broader NSE Nifty benchmark slid to 11,208.55, down 104.75 points from the previous close. A selloff across sectors, led by banking and financial services shares, pulled the markets lower although buying in energy and infrastructure shares arrested the fall. Analysts awaited IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to report its earnings for the quarter ended September 30 and macroeconomic data due the next day for cues. Both benchmark indices trimmed some of the losses by the end of the session.
