The benchmark indices continued trading in red for the fifth consecutive trading session. On Thursday, S&P BSE Sensex rattled about 1,300 points to hit a low of 52,787 on an intraday trade basis whereas Nifty 50 index slid down to 15,758 levels. Inflation data in the US, prediction of rate hikes, all-time low rupee, and aggressive selling portrayed by foreign portfolio investors have drowned the market sentiments.
