Domestic stock markets suffered sharp losses on Thursday hurt by a broad-based selloff, amid cautious trade in Asian peers after the US central bank lowered interest rates as expected but offered mixed signals on further easing. The S&P BSE Sensex index fell as much as 576.08 points to touch 35,987.80 during the session, its lowest intraday level recorded since March 5. The broader NSE Nifty benchmark shed 170.4 points to touch 10,670.25 on the downside. A selloff across sectors - led by banking, information technology, metal and energy sharers - dragged the markets lower, with the Nifty Bank sectoral index dipping as much as 1.95 per cent.
