    Let us take a quick glance at what happened on Dalal Street today.

    Domestic benchmark indices wiped off early gains and extended their losses to a second straight session, thanks to disappointing performance by India Inc. in June quarter. Weak global cues added to the woes of the investors. Led by Dr Reddy's, pharma stocks dragged the benchmark indices the most. Metals, coffee and textile stocks shined during the day. BSE Sensex declined 274 points and closed at 52,579. Nifty50 shed 78 points to settle just below 15,750 for the day. BSE midcap and smallcap index ended the day in the red. Fear gauge India VIX jumped 6 per cent, crossing the 13 mark.

    On BSE Sensex, Dr Reddy's Labs tanked over 10 per cent. Axis Bank shed 3 per cent, whereas Kotak Mahindra Bank and Sun Pharma each declined 2 per cent. HDFC, M&M, Asian Paints, ITC and Reliance gave up over a per cent each. On the flip side, Tata Steel jumped 3 per cent and Bajaj Finserv gained 2 per cent. SBI, Bajaj Finance and Nestle added a per cent each. Over 500 stocks hit upper circuit limits for the day and 190 stocks tested their 52-week highs during the day.

    We have Ajit Mishra from Religare Broking with us to share his views on the day's action and the road ahead:
