Sensex Tanks Over 900 pts on Concerns Over Middle East Conflict

MUMBAI: Equity benchmark indices tanked in early trade on Monday, with the Sensex tumbling 929.74 points, amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and weak trends from global markets.

Foreign fund outflows and hotter-than-expected US inflation data also played spoilsport for the markets.

Extending its previous day’s decline, the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 929.74 points to 73,315.16. The NSE Nifty declined 216.9 points to 22,302.50.
