Stock Market: Big fall again in the stock market today, Sensex fell 600 points, Nifty reached below 23500.

Mumbai, March 13. The Indian stock market once again started with a big fall on Friday. Both the major indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty opened in the red. Sensex fell nearly 600 points to below 75500 in early trade while NSE Nifty fell 200 points to below 23500. Sensex and Nifty recorded a decline of about one percent in early trade on Friday.

Investor sentiments are being continuously affected by the ongoing conflict in West Asia and rising oil prices. Heavy selling in global markets, continuous withdrawal of foreign capital and weakness of the rupee also further increased the bearish trend. BSE Sensex fell 708.38 points or 0.93 per cent to 75,326.04 in early trade while NSE Nifty slipped 222.05 points or 0.93 per cent to 23,417.10.
