Stock market recap, Dec. 10 -- India's equity benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, extended losses for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, 9 December, amid weak global cues ahead of the US Fed policy outcome.

The Sensex closed 436 points, or 0.51%, lower at 84,666.28, while the Nifty 50 ended the day with a loss of 121 points, or 0.47%, at 25,839.65. The mid- and small-cap segments, however, erased losses and ended higher, outperforming the benchmarks. The BSE Midcap index ended 0.60% higher, while the Smallcap index jumped 1.27%.

Thanks to gains in the mid- and small-cap segments, the overall market capitalization of BSE-listed firms rose to Rs.465 trillion from Rs.464.2 trillion in the previous session.
