However, bucking the negative trend were, the IT stocks, the IT index gained 0.2%.

India’s inflation slipped into the negative terrain for the first time in more than 30 years. Annual rate of inflation fell to -1.61% for the week ended June 6, 2009 as compared to 0.13% for the previous week ended May 30, 2009 and 11.66% during the corresponding week of the previous year.

Shares of JSW Steel plunged by over 9% to Rs573 after reports stated that Sajjan Jindal proposes to sell 10% of his holding in JSW Steel to raise resources.

However, the founder, Sajjan Jindal later clarified that this was absolutely false, baseless and misleading and we strongly deny these reports.

He further clarified that the board of directors of the company approved an enabling resolution to raise resources upto US$1bn through equity and quasi equity instruments including QIP placement subject to approval of shareholders with an intention primarily to deleverage the Company.

Markets witnessed heavy selling after the NSE Nifty broke below the 4,330 levels on Thursday which was the 26 day moving average. The Nifty 100 DMA for the second straight trading session failed to cross over the 200 DMA. So One has to look forward for this signal. The recovery in economic growth and corporate profits will take time to catch up with market performance. At every fall, you could feel better if you pick up something.
