Stock Market Updates for Today (21st July' 11)

A fall in food inflation failed to lift sentiment as investors appeared concerned about the financial worries in the U.S. and Europe. Caution amid a slew of earnings reports too rendered the market weak on Thursday.

The Sensex, which declined around 18,415, edged up a bit from that mark and settled at 18,436.19, recording a loss of 66.19 points or 0.36%. The Nifty closed at 5541.60 with a loss of 25.45 points or 0.46%. The NSE barometer touched a high of 5578.90 and a low of 5532.70 during the day.
