Much of the damage for the Indian markets happened barely few minutes of the opening bell. The markets continued to fall till mid day and later took a piece of relief as they reversed the course to recover a bit. Overall a very tough volatile day.

Surprising the Realty took up the most of the beating. Investors and traders both alike seens to be selling realty stocks as the BSE Realty index closed down by 7.65%. IT index is down 5.51% as the markets began assessing the impact of the US financial giants would cause on the software projects that the Indian IT companies are working on. Few IT companies such as TCS and Wipro came out and gave up their initial reactions. The Metal and Power index is down over 4.3% each.
