Sensex dips 420 pts on weak global cues; Aurobindo Pharma down 12%, TaMo 5%- QHN


CLOSING BELL

Stock market highlights: Nervousness in the cryptocurrency markets spilled over into equities as global stock markets, including Indian, remained subdued on Thursday. That apart, investors’ interpretation of the incoming results from the US mid-term elections kept sentimemt in check.

Further, sentiment was also impacted due to nervousness ahead of US CPI data for October. A higher-than-expected print can see the US Fed hike rates more than consensus estimates in its December policy review. That apart, the weekly F&O expiry, back home, was also partly responsible for the overall weak sentiment.
