Stocks had a tough time on Thursday trying to navigate the fog around the scheduled trade meeting between the US and China.
But ultimately, they found themselves shackled.
Even quarterly numbers by some bluechips poured cold water on sentiment.
Both stock barometers did not have much to show.
The Sensex shut shop at 35,103, down 73 points, whereas the Nifty edged down 38 points to 10,680.
PC Jeweller fought off more negative news.
It rallied 32 per cent from the day's low and closed the day 10 per cent up.
The jump came after the company termed reports of arrest of MD and CEO Balram Garg by the CBI as "factually incorrect".
Poor results came back to haunt InterGlobe Aviation -- the owner of IndiGo -- and HCL Technologies, both of whom slumped up to 11 per cent.
In sectoral play, it turned out to be a bad day in office for realty, IT, FMCG and capital goods.
