The markets close red today. Sensex close down 43.09 falls 0.21% and the Nifty close down 16.00 falls 0.26%, snap a three-day winning streak as stocks of blue chips such as Larsen and Toubro fell due to profit-taking after upbeat U.S. economic data raised fears the Federal Reserve would reduce its monetary stimulus. There was profit booking in financials, FMCG, healthcare and auto stocks while IT and metals bucked the trend. Huge liquidity gush and sustained buying can only help Nifty to break above this range.
