Indian markets started off June on a terrible note on Friday as investors continued to fret about grim prospects for the domestic economy amid no sign of relief from policy inaction. A raft of disappointing global economic statistics added to the gloom. The bloodbath today was an extension of May's mayhem, which was sparked off by political turmoil in Greece, banking woes for Spain, slowdown in China, sluggish growth in USA and further deceleration in the Indian economy.

After opening nearly at day’s high, markets seemed to behave like a falling knife; every upswing or consolidation was used to short the market, dragging the main indices to session lows in the last few minutes of trade. The Indian bourses witnessed relentless selling, with heavy offloading in Capital Goods, Power, Oil & Gas and Auto stocks. Only the FMCG index ended with smart gains, thanks to sustained strength in industry titan ITC.
