Dalal Street deep in red: Sensex tumbles 600 pts

March 24, 2021 14:36

The Indian benchmark indices added to their early losses and fell over 1 per cent in Wednesday's noon deals, amid weakness in metals, auto, and financial stocks.

Among the headline indices, the S&P BSE Sensex fell 600 points, or 1 per cent, to 49,430 levels and the broader Nifty50 index gave up the 14,650-mark. ONGC, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, and IndusInd Bank fell 1 per cent each.

Oil prices rose slightly on Wednesday as investors sought bargains after the previous day's drop, but gains were limited as pandemic lockdowns in Europe and a build in US crude stocks dampened risk appetite and raised concerns about oversupply.
