Markets slump
Mumbai: The Bombay Stock Exchange index of 30 shares dropped 150 points on 29 October 1999 to close at 4444. The National Stock Exchange index of 50 shares closed at 1325, registering a loss of 42 points.

The markets faced heavy bull unloading and selling by foreign institutional investors. The major bourses slipped on fear that the high carry forward rate of 50 per cent in Calcutta would spread to other exchanges too. Brokers feel that the BSE will settle down at around 4250 in the short term.
