BSE Sensex crashed nearly 413 points in early trade on profit-booking

Sensex had rallied 265.15 points yesterday.

The NSE benchmark Nifty fell 133.75 points, or 1.56 per cent, to trade at 8,392.00.

Traders said besides profit-booking after yesterday’s gains, a cut-down in positions by cautious participants ahead of IIP numbers weighed on sentiment.

Moreover, a mixed trend on other Asian bourses also influenced the trading.

Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shed 1.54 per cent while Japan’s Nikkei was up 0.28 per cent in morning trade today. Shanghai Composite index was up 0.27 per cent.

The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at record high by rising 1.17 per cent in yesterday’s trade.
