Bears took control of stock markets as benchmark indices, Nifty50 and Sensex, slipped over 2 per cent each, while Bank Nifty slumped over 800 points. Broader markets followed the suit too as midcap and small-cap indices slumped more than 2% each. Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said FIIs selling pressure appears to be main reason triggering this fall as the global markets largely remained positive.
