Love lost on D-Street? Valentine stocks slip as much as 3%

NEW DELHI: Shares of gift and card-makers, including Archies and Hanung Toys & Textiles, slipped in today's trade in a sluggish broader market on Valentine's Day today.

Karuturi Global, Bangalore-based publicly held exporter of cut roses, was down 1.98% at Rs 0.99.

Meanwhile, the Sensex opened on a positive note today, led by gains in pharma, technology and auto sectors.

The positivity comes on the back of cues from global peers and as some buying activity emerged after a sharp fall yesterday.
