The Indian stock market fell for the second straight day amid profit booking and volatility due to mixed global cues on Thursday. Domestic equity benchmarks Nifty50 and the Sensex corrected by 0.10% and 0.18% respectively amid massive selling pressure from banking and financial stocks. After touching 17,400, the Nifty ended lower by 17.60 points to 17,304.60 as 17 shares advanced and 33 declined on the index. The barometer Sensex dropped over 100 points to settle at 57,892.01 as 19 shares ended in negative, while 11 settled in the green on the 30-share Sensex on Thursday.
"On the index front, 17100-17000 will be seen as the immediate support range while 17500 is the resistance. We could continue to see some higher volatility within this broad range while a breakout on either side beyond the mentioned boundaries will lead to the next directional move," said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research, 5paisa.com
