INDIAN BENCHMARKS: SENSEX CRASHES 379 POINTS, NIFTY 50 HOLDS 7100

Domestic equity benchmark crashed on Tuesday to snap a four-day winning streak after Moody's Investors Service said India's fiscal metrics would remain weaker than its peers in the near term even if Finance Minister Arun Jaitley sticks to the fiscal consolidation roadmap.

Also, a fresh slump in crude oil prices dragged equity markets down the world over and while at home concerns rose over Government’s ability to support PSU Banks.

With just three more sessions left ahead of the Union Budget, investors looked nervous amid mixed signals about what Finance Minister Arun Jaitley may have in store for the B-Day, which dragged the 30-pack Sensex down as much as 379 points.
