New Delhi, Dec 24 (ANI): After three straight days of rally, the Indian equities markets benchmark Sensex slipped 191 points on Friday due to selling pressure in power and banking stocks. The 30 stock S&P Sensex of the Bombay Stock Exchange closed at 57,124.31 points, down 0.33 per cent or 190.97 points from its previous day's close at 57,315.28 points. Earlier, the Sensex opened in the positive at 57,567.11 points and touched a high of 57,623.69 points. The index slipped to a low of 56,813.42 points due to heavy selling in the early trade. However, buying support in Reliance, ITC and IT stocks helped recoup the losses. The broader Nifty 50 of the National Stock Exchange closed 0.40 per cent or 68.85 points lower at 17,003.75 points. The Nifty touched a high of 17,155.60 points and low of 16,909.60 points in the intra-day.
