    NEW DELHI: Selloff in equity markets across the world dragged domestic indices as well, snapping the three-day winning run. Bank and financials were among the biggest losers but broader market stocks showed resilience.

    The 30-share pack Sensex dropped 598.57 points, or 1.16 per cent, to close at 50,846.08. Its broader peer NSE Nifty declined 164.85 points, or 1.08 per cent, to 15,080.75.

    “Markets took a breather after the recent surge and settled with a cut of over a percent. Weak global cues triggered a gap-down start, followed by volatile swings till the end. On the flip side, resilience on the broader front kept the participants busy,” said Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking.

    Here are the major movers of the day:

    IPO Watch
    MTAR Technologies was subscribed 9.21 times so far on Day 2 of the bidding process. The issue was fully subscribed on the first day itself. As most institutional investors bid on the last day, this number could go much higher.
