Sensex, Nifty in red; Cipla, Bharti, Dr Reddy’s Labs fall

 GAIL, NTPC, ICICI Bank, Hindalco and Tata Steel are top gainers in the Sensex. Among the losers are HUL, Cipla, Dr Reddy's Labs and Bharti Airtel.

The market has again slipped into red after comfortably placed in green for sometime in early trade. The Sensex is down 40.55 points or 0.2 percent at 24853.26 and the Nifty is down 8.20 points or 0.1 percent at 7550.60. About 661 shares have advanced, 1457 shares declined, and 90 shares are unchanged.

Oil prices remained weak as the global economic outlook darkened further and cooperation between oil producing countries to curb oversupply looked unlikely. Oil prices have fallen almost 60 percent since June 2014 on a global supply glut, with prices seesawing in recent weeks as concerns about a slowing Chinese economy caused turmoil in global stock markets.

Trading gathers steam. The Sensex is up 58.73 points or 0.2 percent at 24952.54 and the Nifty is up 17.65 points or 0.2 percent at 7576.45. About 747 shares have advanced, 1304 shares declined, and 82 shares are unchanged.
