Mumbai: The BSE Sensex cracked below the
34,000-mark by plunging about 1,275 points or 3.6 per cent in
opening trade today due to across-the-board losses after
investor sentiment was hit by a sell-off in world markets.
Extending its falling streak for the sixth straight
session, the 30-share index fell by 1,274.35 points, or 3.66
per cent, to 33,482.81 with all sectoral indices led
by realty, consumer durables, metal and banking tradings in
the negative zone.
