Sensex extends losing run to 2nd day, slides 536 pts; Nifty below 21,550 ahead of Fed minute
The 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex plunged 536 points or 0.75% to settle at 71,356. The broader NSE Nifty fell 148 points or 0.69% to end at 21,517. The Fed minutes, due later in the day, and key labour market data, expected later this week, will help assess if the optimism over potential rate cuts is justified.
