INDIAN EQUITY MARKET WRAP UP - 29 JULY 2016

INDIAN BENCHMARKS: SENSEX ENDS 157 POINTS LOWER, NIFTY 50 BELOW 8650

Cautious investors dumped equities ahead of key June quarter earnings on Friday after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) disappointed the market with less-than-expected monetary easing.

The S&P BSE Sensex and NSE's Nifty50 opened flat as the August series of futures and options contracts kicked off. Trading turned choppy with the Sensex heading towards the negative zone even as the broader Nifty50 shot into the green at least once.

The 30-share Sensex closed at 28,051.86, down 156.76 points or 0.56 per cent, while the 50-share Nifty50 settled at 8,638.50, down 27.80 points or 0.32 per cent.
