Nifty Slip

The market is slipping further as investors are cautious on a possible hawkish shift in the US Federal Reserve's policy stance as the Fed begins a two-day policy meeting later in the day. The Nifty is down 53.45 points or 0.6 percent at 7988.55 and the Sensex slips 150 points at 26666.56. About 977 shares have advanced, 1824 shares declined, and 95 shares are unchanged.

Oil, bank and auto stocks are dragging the indices. Axis Bank, ONGC, SBI, Tata Motors and Coal India are major laggards in the Sensex. Both midcap and smallcaps are slaughtered, down 3 and 2 percent respectively.
