Sensex ends below 10k.

The Sensex slipped below 10,000 mark for the first time in over two years due to aggressive selling by funds and worries on economic slowdown also weigh down the sentiment. The benchmarks touched their new 2008 lows today. Both Sensex and Nifty touched lows of 9,911.32 and 3,046.60 respectively. All sectors traded weak. Persistent selling by foreign investors has been a major concern for the markets.

BSE Midcap and Smallcap index shed 3.07% and 2.76% respectively.

Realty sector underperformed all other sectoral indices. The counter plunged 10.25% followed by Power (8.09%) and Metal (6.12%).

Indian stock market started the day on a positive note after a fall of 2.11% on the previous working day. The 30-share index, BSE Sensex opened with a gain of 181.85 points, at 10,763.34 on Friday.
