Nifty closed in the red below 6,200 levels amid profit taking in index heavyweight. Further, IT majors continued to exhibit weakness amid profit taking after recent gains in the run up to the second quarter earnings.

Nifty edged higher in opening deals due to lackluster US September jobs report that will lead to the Federal Reserve maintaining stimulus for the US economy in the foreseeable future. A bout of volatility was witnessed as the index slipped in red territory in late morning trade as investors took some profits off the table in the wake of recent gains. Sentiments also remained dampened weighed down by selling pressure in software and technology stocks on profit booking after recent gains. Sentiments also got dampened after Finance Minister P. Chidambaram termed the rising number of bad loans in the banking sector as 'unacceptable,' even as he expressed satisfaction at the growth in bank lending in the first quarter. 

In afternoon trade, index extended intraday losses and hit fresh intraday low as after India Ratings and Research stated that the economy would grow 4.9% in the current financial year despite favourable monsoon brightening the scope for agriculture performance. European shares opened broadly lower also added to the pessimistic sentiments. In last leg of trade, there was a good recovery attempt supported by some bluechips but it failed to ramp up much support for the markets to bring them back in green.

NSE sectoral indices made a red closing.CNX PSU Bank up by 2.69%, CNX Bank up 0.66%, CNX Media up by 0.42%, CNX FMCG up 0.27% and CNX Finance up 0.25%. On the other hand, CNX Realty down by 1.32% CNX Energy down by 1.00%, CNX IT down by 0.96%, CNX Commodities down by 0.94%, and CNX CNX Pharma down by 0.86 % were the losers on index.

The India VIX increased by 1.95% at 20.35 as compared to its previous close of 19.96 on Tuesday. The 50-share CNX Nifty declined by 24.45 points or 0.39% to settle at 6,178.35.

The respective Support and Resistance levels of Nifty are: Resistance 6225.33-- Pivot Point 6170.97-- Support -- 6123.98.
