Sensex, Nifty slip, HDFC twins & ICICI Bank biggest contributors to Sensex fall, Coal India shines

On the last day of the week, both the Sensex and Nifty tumbled pushing the key benchmark indices down by 1.13 per cent and 1.05 per cent respectively. Therefore the  Sensex closed at  37877 levels down by 433 points and Nifty closed at  11181 levels down by  118.6 points.

The European markets were also unanimously down with FTSE sliding by  2.18  per cent, DAX slipping by 1.30 per cent and CAC 40 falling by 2.12  per cent. Fresh quarantine rules along with a record drop in second-quarter employment led to fresh selling in Europe. The treasury yields declined after rising for five days.
