Sensex slips 100 points, Nifty slips below 5,850

The Nifty was witnessing selling pressure and was near day's low as profit booking picked up in banks, realty, metals and capital goods sectors. Analysts expect the market to correct further in the near term in absence of positive triggers to drive the market higher.

"The Indian markets snapped the September F&O series on a very quiet note, though the series witnessed gains of over 8 percent for the benchmarks. The start of the new series is likely to be cautious and markets may remain in consolidation mood. Traders will be eyeing the movement of rupee, which is on an appreciation move, outperforming all its regional peers after RBI took additional measures for liquidity," said LKP report.

"There will be some concern in the rate sensitives as the RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has questioned central banks across the globe, whether current ultra-low interest rates are the right way to return to growth after the financial crisis, sending jitters back home," the report added.
