POST MARKET

The Indian equity indices pared some of their losses on Tuesday as late-session buying in select IT counters, optimism around India-US trade discussions, and firm cues from global markets helped lift sentiment.

At close, the Sensex was down 297.07 points or 0.36 percent at 82,029.98, and the Nifty was down 81.85 points or 0.32 percent at 25,145.50. About 1140 shares advanced, 2692 shares declined, and 97 shares were unchanged.

All the sectoral indices ended in the red with pharma, consumer durables, metal, media, and PSU Bank index down 1-1.5%.

Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Bajaj Finance, Bharat Electronics, TCS, and Trent were among the major losers on the Nifty, while gainers included Max Healthcare, Apollo Hospitals, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and ICICI Bank.

Among the broader market indices, the BSE Midcap index shed 0.8 percent, and the smallcap indices fell 1%.
