Sensex sinks as exit polls spook investors

Mumbai., December 10 

Indian equity benchmark Sensex saw its worst session in two months on Monday, tumbling 714 points after “unfavourable” state exit poll results for the ruling BJP unnerved investors who were already cautious in view of falling rupee and weak global cues.

This was the worst single-session fall for the benchmark BSE index since October 11.

The Sensex tumbled nearly 714 points, or 2%, to close at 34,959.72. Similarly, the Nifty fell 205.25 points to end at 10,488.45. — PTI
