Mumbai, Feb 13 The benchmark index CNX Nifty today tumbled sharply and hit nearly two weeks low on across- the-board selling on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) fuelled by economic concerns, dismal earnings and weak global cues.
However, despite an 83-point drop, the 50-share index managed to hold on to the important 6000-level. Banking, FMCG, pharma, energy and metal shares led the fall.
Renewed macro worries, reflected in contraction of industrial output data in December, triggered the sell-off.
