The stock benchmark Sensex fell 770 points on Thursday to settle below 59,000 as selling pressure intensified on profit-taking in IT and financial stocks.

Continued foreign capital outflows also weighed on sentiment, traders said.

Among the Sensex constituents, 25 stocks closed lower and 5 advanced.

In other Asian markets, Tokyo closed in the red, while Seoul was positive.

European stock exchanges were mixed in intraday trading. Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, fell 0.65% to $88.89 a barrel.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in capital markets, dumping shares worth Rs 1.836 crore on Wednesday, according to stock exchange data.

India’s services sector activity slowed further in January, a monthly survey on Thursday showed, as new business growth slowed markedly due to the escalating outbreak, reintroduction of restrictions and inflationary pressures.

The seasonally adjusted index of business activity in India’s services sector fell to 51.5 in January from 55.5 in December, indicating the slowest expansion in the current six-month growth series.
