Share Market Today: Across-the-board selling dragged the broader markets lower

Stock markets shed around 2 per cent on Monday, as investors turned cautious a day ahead of assembly election results of five states. The Sensex nosedived 713 points to end at 34,959, while the Nifty plunged to 10,488, down 205 points - or 1.9 per cent - from the previous close. Across-the-board selling, led by banking, financial services and energy stocks, dragged the broader markets lower. Analysts say they expect short-term volatility to continue ahead of state election results.
