Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Nov 12 (ANI): Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Ltd and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) Ltd were closed on Tuesday on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti.
Wholesale commodity markets including metal and bullion were also shut to mark the 550 birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism. There was no trading activity in the foreign exchange and commodity futures markets as well.
A day earlier, the BSE SP Sensex had closed 21 points up at 40,345 while the Nifty 50 moved higher by 5 points to 11,913.
After market closing hours, the government released data which showed that industrial output in September contracted by 4.3 per cent from a year earlier due to poor performance in the manufacturing sector.
That may dampen market sentiment on Wednesday as investors await more corporate results for the second fiscal quarter.
