At the closing bell on Wednesday, the BSE Sensex dipped 150 points, ending 0.3% lower.

Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty fell 51 points, ending at 15,800.

NTPC, Reliance, and Sun Pharma were among the top gainers.

HUL, Axis Bank, and Bajaj Finserv were among the top losers.

The broader markets ended in the red as the BSE Mid Cap index fell 0.7% while the BSE Small Cap index lost 0.3%.

Among sectoral indices, buying was seen in auto sector, power sector, and energy sector while stocks in the banking sector, IT sector, and FMCG sector witnessed most of the selling.

Shares of Voltamp Transformers and Phoenix Mills hit their respective 52-week highs.

At 7:40 AM today, the SGX Nifty was trading down by 34 points or 0.2% lower at 15,745 levels.
