The BSE Sensex ended little changed at 53,019 on the last day of June, booking a 9.5% quarterly loss, the most since March quarter of 2020, amid fears that aggressive monetary tightening aimed at curbing inflation could tip the economy into a recession. Losses in technology and consumer goods almost offset the gains in banks and power stocks. Among the single stocks, top losers included Tech Mahindra (-2.1%), twin stocks Bajaj Finance (-2%) and Bajaj Financial Services (-1.74%) while Axis Bank (+1.74%), State Bank of India (+1.38%) and Kotak Bank (+0.92%) limited the losses.
