The Sensex has plunged over 1200 points in four trading sessions, including today's decline, on earnings growth concerns, while weak cues across the region also dampened sentiment.

The Sensex slipped as much as 639.73 points in trade on Monday, to register its lowest close in three weeks, dragged down by losses in technology, realty, FMCG and auto stocks.

The rupee slumped to its weakest in over a month after a spurt in dollar outflows triggered by the greenback's strength globally as well as weaker shares, Reuters reported. The rupee had fallen to as much as 62.86 to the dollar, its lowest since March 16.
