Equitymaster submits: The benchmark indices in the Indian stock market languished in the red throughout the session today with energy and realty stocks among the top losers.

By Equitymaster: The Indian stock market started off on a weak note, mirroring a dismal performance in the Asian markets. However they managed to recover from the day's lows towards the latter half of the session. This was on account of a sharp drop in food inflation numbers.

Equitymaster submits: Indian stock markets started off today's session on a positive note. But soon things took a turn for the worse. The overhang, of RBI's policy hike yesterday could have also been a reason for the same. Profit booking in index heavyweights forced the indices deep into negative territory towards the close of the session. The BSE-Sensex closed lower by 0.6% (down 115 points), with the NSE-Nifty closed lower by 30 points. The BSE Midcap and BSE Small cap indices had a worse outing.
