| D Street flooded with red sea after 4 trading days; Markets down 1%

Benchmark snapped its four day winning streak and closed almost 1 percent lower led by a sell-off in heavyweight banking stocks. The investor sentiment went for a toss on cues emerging from world's biggest economies. Macro-economic data from China and minutes of the US Federal Reserve's last meeting caused the turmoil as stocks tumbled around the globe. Broader markets slightly outperformed the benchmark indices with the BSE Midcap index flat with negative bias, while the BSE Smallcap index declined by 0.16% in trade today.
Falling global markets also weighed on the investor sentiment after Fed minutes released late Wednesday signaled continuation of trimming its bond buying program at the usual pace of $10bn-a-month unless economy surprises significantly.
Another major reason was, macro-economic data from China which signaled a slowdown in the world's second-largest economy for second month in a row. The flash Markit/HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to a seven-month low of 48.3 in February from January's final reading of 49.5. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction while one above shows expansion
