27th August 2012The BSE Sensex on Monday fell by 104.40 points on selling in banks, capital goods, metal and power shares amid the logjam in Parliament entering its second week over the coal block allocation issue. While the concerns over the deficit rainfall may now be

waning, the debate over the CAG report on coal continues to haunt the political scenario.

The Indian rupee, which was last trading weaker by 10 paise at around 55.60 a US dollar in spot market did not provide any relief to stock market.

Sensex:- 17,678.81   Down by 104 points

CONTINUED…31st August 2012The BSE Sensex today dragged down by power, metal and oil & gas stocks as better-than-expected 5.5 per cent growth in first quarter dashed hopes of interest rate cut, amid a weak global trend. Poor showing by the manufacturing sector pulled

down the GDP growth to 5.5 per cent in the April-June quarter, the decade's worst Q1 performance, but was a higher than the 5.3 per cent estimate put out by most economists.

Brokers said the better-than-expected growth might hamper government efforts to revive the economy and force the RBI to ease lending rates.

Sensex:- 17,541.64   Down by 161 points
