Mumbai [India], January 27 (ANI): The Indian equities markets key indices close in the negative for the sixth time in the past seven trading sessions on Thursday with Sensex and Nifty 50 sliding by around 1 per cent.

The 30 stock SP BSE Sensex closed the day at 57,276.94 points, which is 581.21 points or 1.00 per cent down from its previous session's close at 57,858.15 points.
The broader Nifty 50 of the National Stock Exchange closed 167.80 points or 0.97 per cent down at 17,110.15 points against its previous session's close at 17,277.95 points.
The Nifty opened in the red at 17,062.00 points and slumped to a low of 16,866.75 points in the intra-day. It touched a high of 17,182.50 points during the day.
