MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell as much as 3 percent on Tuesday, heading towards its biggest daily loss since the rupee crisis in 2013 as emerging markets tumbled, while safe-haven assets such as U.S. Treasuries surged.
Investors piled into safe-haven assets and offloaded riskier investments in the face of a weak outlook for global growth and inflation concerns, and growing fears Greece may leave the euro zone.
The BSE Sensex fell as much as 3 percent to 27,000.78, while the broader Nifty dropped as much as 2.9 percent to 8,133.85.
