31/05/2012 07:15 AST  The Hindu Business Line

Indian benchmark indices, the Sensex and the Nifty, fell over 0.8 per cent in the morning session today on continued selling by funds and retail investors due to depreciating rupee and a weak trend in the Asian markets.

The 30-share BSE index Sensex was down 156.12 points or 0.96 per cent at 16,152.67 and the 50-share NSE index was down 47.3 points or 0.96 per cent at 4,903.45.

Investor sentiment was hit due to persistent concerns over Greece’s future in the Euro zone and rising borrowing costs in Spain and Italy.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 was down 158.62 points or 1.84 per cent at 8,474.57, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was down 207.01 points or 1.11 per cent at 18,483.21.
