Benchmark indices gave up early gains to end lower yesterday amid profit booking and largely negative trend in global markets. After rallying nearly 400 points intra day, Sensex settled 66.95 points lower at 52,482. Nifty slipped 26.95 points to close at 15,721.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) emerged as net sellers as they sold shares worth Rs 1,646.66 crore on June 30, as per provisional data available on the NSE.
