Mumbai: The stock markets plunged at the opening with Sensex down 665.45 points or 1.91 percent at 34095.44. Financials dragged Nifty by over 200 points. It traded below the 10,200-mark and was down 266.10 points or 2.54 percent at 10194. Reliance, ICICI Bank, TCS Infosys were among the top the top losers. All sectoral indices trade with cuts. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the Rupee opened weak at 74.37 and slipped further to quote at an all-time low of 74.45, depreciating 24 paise against the US dollar in the early trade.
