Closing Bell

The BSE benchmark Sensex ended 275 points lower  following weak global cues amid fresh foreign fund outflows.

The 30-share Sensex lost 274.71 points, or 0.77 per cent, at 35,199.80 points. The gauge had lost 300.37 points yesterday.

Sectoral indices led by IT, teck, metal, capital goods and power ended in the negative zone with losses up to 2.90 per cent. The BSE IT index fell nearly 3 per cent at 13,457.03.

The NSE Nifty too ended lower by 56.15 points, or 0.53 per cent, at 10,600.05.

Brokers said a weak trend in other Asian markets following extended rout at Wall Street on Tuesday on disappointing earnings amid fears over slowing global growth on US-China trade dispute and the steady rise in interest rates, dampened sentiment here.

However, crude oil prices dipping to one-year low in global market on supply concerns, capped the fall in the indices.
