Last week, markets saw massive selling, with both the key indices recording their biggest weekly fall since July 2009 — Sensex fell 1,631 points, or 6.62 per cent, and Nifty was down 508.15 points, or 6.78 per cent.
Sinking to its lowest level in 21 months, the Sensex on Thursday crashed 807 points to go below the 23,000-mark on concerns over the health of the global economy and mounting bad loans.
