The market saw high drama today, with the Sensex oscillating in a wide range of 1533.39 points in the day. Earlier today, trading was halted at 09:57 IST, when the 30-shares BSE Sensex lost a sharp 1,743.96 points or 9.15% to 17,307.90. It touched a high of 18,841.29. It settled with 336.04-point or 1.76% fall at 18,715.82.
The early sell-off was triggered after the Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi), after market hours on Tuesday, 16 October 2007, proposed a number of restrictions that will effectively spell doom for the thriving participatory note (PN) activity in the stock market. All this was done to slam brakes on the flows of anonymous foreign capital.
But market staged a sharp pull back from day's lows, since afternoon trade after Sebi chairman M Damodaran, clarified to television media that participatory notes (PN) are not being banned and there will be no bar on FII inflows. He also clarified that Sebi is not proposing a ban on offshore derivatives.
The total turnover on BSE amounted to Rs 10159 crore today
