MUMBAI, OCT 4: Share values dropped on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) today mainly in the absence of fresh buying. The sentiment was affected mainly by the uncertainty created by various exit polls coupled with large net outstanding positions and high carry forward rates of around 36 per cent per annum.Sensex crashed from the day's high of 4781.20 to close at 4654.72 with a net loss of 47.59 points compared to the last Friday's close of 4702.31. The BSE-100 index eased by 15.78 points to 2155.97 from the previous close of 2171.75.Brokers said that after a firm start, equities met with strong resistance in the wake of heavy bull liquidation and absence of foreign funds. The early rally which was reflection of high badla rates that lifted the Sensex to the day's high was shortlived as bulls resorted to heavy unloading to wind up their positions ahead of the final elections results set to be declared from October 6 onwards.Of the 154 traded specified shares, 99 registered sharp to moderate falls while52 showed gains and three remained unchanged.
