INDIAN EQUITY MARKET WRAP UP - 29 APR 2016

INDIAN BENCHMARKS: SENSEX CLOSES FLAT ON WEAK GLOBAL CUES, NIFTY 50 SLIPS BELOW 7850

Poor March quarter earnings from ICICI Bank -1.48 % and weak global cues spooked Dalal Street on Friday, causing the equity benchmarks to close flat.

The S&P Sensex opened cautiously and then traded with gains for about two hours. However, midway through the market lost momentum and slipped into the red. The Nifty50 followed a similar trajectory.

Weakness in Asian markets didn't help matters while European markets opened in the red, putting fresh pressure on the indices.

However, the market recovered most of the losses in the last half-an-hour of trade. The 30-share Sensex ended at 25,606.62, up 3.52 points or 0.01 per cent while the Nifty50 closed at 7,849.80, up 0.03 per cent or 2.55 points.

UPCOMING RESULTS TOMORROW: FEDERAL BANK, L&TFIN, HDFC, ALKALI, TBZ, PARRYSUGAR
