IT stocks led the decline, plunging 9% on concerns of reduced US tech spending, while the Nifty Metal index tumbled 7.5% on fears of global trade disruptions. The auto and pharma sectors also registered losses of 3% each. “Nifty broke below the crucial support of 23,141 and went down to as low as 22,857.
