Indian stocks finished lower on 12 October. The Sensex closed at 71,924.68, down 547.65 points, while the Nifty ended at 22,363.35 after losing 157.10 points, according to Financial Express’s closing market report.
Those moves represented declines of about 0.76% and 0.70% respectively. Trading took place against uncertainty over overseas developments and energy costs, with investors also watching the domestic corporate earnings season.
These are Monday’s closing levels, not live quotes for the rest of the week. The September retail-inflation release came after the equity session ended and should not be described as a result already available during that close.
