SENSEX, NIFTY RETREAT FROM LIFETIME HIGHS ON MONSOON JITTERS

Indian shares snapped four sessions of gains to end lower on Wednesday, with losses spread
across most sectors, as sentiment turned negative after a private weather forecaster said it
expected a ‘below normal’ monsoon this year. Skymet’s forecast of the monsoon season,
which delivers about 70% of India’s annual rainfall, dampened prospects of higher farm and
economic growth in the $2.6 trillion economy. The Sensex closed down 0.46%, or 179.53
points, at 38,877.12 while the broader NSE Nifty ended 0.59% lower, or 69.25 points at
11,643.95. Both the indexes hit fresh highs during the session.
