"Market breadth tilted in favour of bulls lifted by financial stocks, amid positive cues from global peers. Strong corporate earnings reported by banks boosted appetite for financial stocks. Positive global markets owing to possibility of a less aggressive rate hike, further added colour," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Overall market breadth favoured the decline at close, as 1,666 stocks rose while 1,977 fell on BSE.

Rupee ended 27 paise lower from previous close at 81.39 vs US dollar.
