NEW DELHI: Equity indices snapped their 5-day winning run on Tuesday with the benchmark BSE sensex falling over 700 points dragged by losses in metal and IT stocks amid weak global cues.
The 30-share BSE index plunged 709 points or 1.26 per cent to close at 55,777; while the broader NSE Nifty settled 208 points or 1.23 per cent lower at 16,663.
