Sensex at 3-Month Low, Crashes 439 Points on Global Sell-Off Thursday Oct 13,2016

ndian stocks tumbled like nine pins on Thursday Oct 13,2016, with the benchmark Sensex plunging over 439 points to close at a three-month low of 27,643.11 after a slew of global factors such as weak Chinese export data and Fed rate hike talks unnerved investors.

Besides, a caution ahead of retail inflation numbers - to be released after market hours on Thursday- and key quarterly results also influenced trading sentiment in domestic markets.

Shares of finance, telecom, banking, realty, utilities and industrials fell sharply due to heavy profit-booking.

The Sensex opened lower and stayed in the negative zone to hit a low of 27,563.84 points before settling 439.23 points, or 1.56 per cent down at 27,643.11, its lowest closing since July 11,2016
