The reversal was quick from yesterday as investor tried to lock in their profit after the 170k mark was breached on the benchmark index yesterday, but even though a large majority (61%) of equities went in the red, the benchmark index still closed above 170k.
This is surprising given the mid single digit losses for a large number of equities showing the high skewness to the left.
The industrial sector and real estate sector were propped higher than usual, but the financial sector posted an aggregate loss, something it rarely does.
