The BSE Sensex fell 610.37 points or 0.92 per cent to settle at 65,508.32. The Nifty slipped 192.90 points or 0.98 per cent to end at 19,523.55.

"After a firm opening, markets lost ground immediately and plunged deep into the red in the second half, as IT, metals, FMCG and automobile stocks led the slump in key benchmark indices. Markets were range bound in last few sessions and one was anticipating a sharp fall, and the weak global factors have been already weighing on investors’ minds for quite some time. If US dollar and bond yields maintain their ascend, the downward trend may continue for some more time," said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.
