Sensex crashes nearly 1,000 points in early trade

The topline equity indices on BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE) crashed over 1 per cent lower in the early trade on Thursday triggered by weakness in the broader Asian market as the US Federal Reserve’s signal to steadily tighten policy soured global investor sentiment.

The S&P BSE Sensex tanked 988.25 points to 56,869.90 in opening deals while the broader Nifty 50 tumbled 262.70 points to 17,015.25.
