Indian share prices fell 0.33 percent on Monday as investors sold blue chip companies for a third straight day citing weak US economic data, dealers said. They said buying was restricted to mid- and small-cap stocks. The benchmark 30-share Sensex index fell 65 points to 19,633.36, slipping from the day's high of 19,971.44.
Industrial production data in the US fell in October as lower sales pushed companies to slow down manufacturing in automobiles and appliances, official data last week showed. "Global concerns are weighing the Indian markets down. We expect mid-cap stocks to outperform as they had lagged in previous months," said Advait Date, a dealer with BHH Securities.
