A recovery that did not last

Its eventual finish was only 25.25 points above the day’s low. These comparisons describe the trading path; they do not establish why investors bought or sold.
Breadth was softer, but not one-way
NSE’s wider market statistics at 16:00 IST recorded 1,740 advances, 1,813 declines and 132 unchanged securities out of 3,685 traded. That count covers the exchange’s displayed universe, not only the 50 index constituents. Declines exceeded advances by 73, a much more specific description than saying every part of the market fell.
