Market tanks on weak global cues; Sensex below 36,000 levels, Nifty below 10,800 mark

On account of heavy selling pressure in banking, infra, auto and power sectoral stocks, the BSE Sensex tanked 383 points  from its Friday close to 35,636 after making a high of 36,124 mark. The 50-share index Nifty gained 122 points to 10,658 levels. Shares of Dish TV, DLF and Cera Sanitaryware were the top gaining stocks while Linde India, Gra[phite India and Edelweiss Fin shares were the top losers.

Speaking on the market trend Mehul Kothari, Senior Equity Analyst at IndiaNivesh told, "On the downside, move below 10750 could dwell the upside momentum but the uptrend would be in jeopardy if index breaches the critical support of 10690. Thus for the coming week, 10690 remain a trend deciding level for the markets. On the upside, bulls would be in safe heaven only above the 11000 mark. Before that 10900 – 10930 zone might act as intermediate resistance in the coming sessions. Traders are advised to remain stock specific due to earning season and avoid over leveraged positions."
