Retreating from over three-week high, the benchmark BSE Sensex fell by 51.56 points today as banking stocks dropped on caution ahead of the unveiling of a new methodology for calculating base rates amid a mixed trend in global markets on worries over a US rate hike. The 50-share NSE Nifty ended 23.55 points or 0.30 per cent down at 7,931.35 after moving between 7,979.30 and 7,910.80.
Sensex intraday movement: The gauge opened higher on sustained buying and advanced to the day's high of 26,256.42, however, profit-booking in the later half of the day dragged it into the negative zone to touch the day's low of 26,041.68.
Rupee vs Dollar: Snapping its two-day winning spree against the American currency, the rupee today dropped 10 paise to end at 66.59 on renewed demand for the dollar from banks and importers amid higher greenback overseas.
Gold prices drifted by Rs 150 to Rs 25,550 per ten grams at the bullion market today following a weak trend overseas coupled with slackened demand from jewellers at prevailing levels. Silver followed suit and shed Rs 50 at Rs 34,150 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
