Due to the strengthening dollar and widening trade deficit, the rupee continued its free fall hitting a new low of 72.67.

FMCG, telecom, consumer durables, finance, oil and gas, realty, power, metals, banks, energy, auto, and utilities sectors witnessed heavy selling. While SBI, IndusInd Bank, Vedanta, Kotak Bank, Sun Pharma, RIL and HDFC lost the most, falling up to 2.52 per cent. Wipro, NTPC, Axis Bank and Adani Ports bucked weak market trend, gaining up to 0.79 per cent.
