New Delhi, April 30 -- Frontline indices, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, ended with nominal losses, snapping their two-day winning run on Wednesday, April 30. The Sensex closed 46 points, or 0.06 per cent, lower at 80,242.24, while the Nifty 50 ended 2 points down at 24,334.20. The mid and small-cap segments saw significant selling as the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices ended with losses of 0.72 per cent and 1.74 per cent, respectively.

Due to the poor show of mid and small-cap segments, the overall market capitalisation of the firms listed on the BSE dropped to nearly Rs.422 lakh crore from Rs.426 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors poorer by about Rs.4 lakh crore in a single session.

More to come.
