Mumbai: India's bond, currency and share market will remain closed on Wednesday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.
The 30-share Sensex yesterday opened at 250.06 points or 0.65 per cent to trade at 38,917.39. While the broader Nifty was up 69.30 points or 0.60 per cent at 11,543.75.
The market closed as Sensex plunged nearly 362 points on Tuesday due to an across-the-board sell-off as financial sector woes, auto sales slump and weak macro data spooked investors. The NSE gauge Nifty too tanked 115 points to slip below the 11,400-level.
Yes Bank shares plummeted over 22 per cent, their fifth consecutive session of fall, as promoter Rana Kapoor and his group entities sold another 2.16 per cent stake worth Rs 510 crore.
Other major laggards were IndusInd Bank, SBI, Bharti Airtel, ONGC, Tata Steel and Reliance Industries -- falling as much as 6.30 per cent.
Among the Sensex constituents, HDFC twins, Mahindra and Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Kotak Bank, HUL and Asian Paints ended in the green.
