BSE Sensex snaps five-day winning streak; banks down

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell more than 1 percent on Thursday to snap a five-day winning streak as lenders such as HDFC Bank dropped on profit-taking, while sentiment also waned as the rupee reversed part of its recent gains.

Shares in HDFC Bank fell 1.9 percent, while ICICI Bank Ltd ended 1.7 percent lower.

The Nifty fell 1.1 percent, while the benchmark Sensex slumped 1.1 percent, retreating from their highest levels in nearly 1-1/2 months hit in the previous session.
