Shares of enzymes manufacturer and marketer Advanced Enzymes fell for the second straight day after 2.5 percent of the company's equity exchanged hands in large trades.
The stock is currently trading near its 52-week low of Rs 257 which it hit in February this year.
Sources within the dealing rooms told CNBC TV-18 that the company's promoter entity is likely to be the seller in this large trade. As of the quarter ended June, Advanced Enzyme's promoter entity held 52.7 percent stake in the company.
All Eyes On The Fed!
Dalal Street began the new trading week on a volatile note with the S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 ending with gains after sharp swings in the early part of the session.
Among the other sectors, Metals witnessed profit booking for the second straight day after a four-day surge, while the FMCG index outperformed, ending 1.4 percent higher.
Dealing room sources say that 17,200 is a crucial support for the Nifty on the downside and that the outcome of the
Fed Meeting later this week will be critical. The markets are pricing in another 75 basis points hike later this week. However, bets for a 100 basis points hike are not completely off the table either.
Besides Advanced Enzymes here are some other stocks that have been part of the dealing room chatter today:
