Indian markets have opened in the red after another global rout driven by Wall Street plunge. The benchmark (BSE) Sensex is down by 500 points, and broader Nifty is down by 150 points. The S&P 500 slumped 3.8% on Thursday, while the Dow dropped 4.2% as losses accelerated late in the trading day.

Bloodbath in stock markets again; BSE Sensex plunges 500 points

At 9:18 am, the S&P BSE Sensex was trading at 33,917, down 495 points, while the broader Nifty was ruling at 10,403, down 173 points.

Meanwhile, Rupee opened weaker against the US Dollar at 64.42.

US stocks began to wobble last Friday after a healthy US labour market report sparked a spike in bond yields and fears of rising inflation which could trigger more central bank rate hikes.
