- Story Text: Indian shares fell on Tuesday (December 14) while the rupee hit an 18-month low, as the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant weighed on investor sentiment globally ahead of a series of central bank meetings this week, including by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The blue-chip NSE Nifty 50 index sagged 0.56% to 17,268 by 0458 GMT and the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.60% to 57,934.92, both down for a third straight session.
Fears grew about the Omicron variant after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned of a "tidal wave" of new cases, and the World Health Organization said it poses a "very high" global risk, with some evidence that it evades vaccine protection.
The Nifty bank index fell 0.9%, while the auto index dropped 1.1%. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
