Domestic stock markets registered sharp losses amid volatile trade on Tuesday. The S&P BSE Sensex index fell as much as 373.53 points to hit 38,924.85 in late afternoon deals, and the broader NSE Nifty benchmark shed 88.2 points to touch 11,573.65 on the downside. Buying interest in banking, financial services and pharma shares was countered by a selloff in IT stocks led by Infosys, which suffered its worst single-day drop in over six years. The IT major said it had received anonymous whistleblower complaints alleging certain unethical practices. Analysts awaited quarterly earnings announcements by more large cap companies for near-term cues.
