Moneycontrol News 

Benchmark indices ended sharply lower on the expiry day of June futures & options contracts, dragged by banking & financials and Reliance Industries. Weakness in the rupee and lingering trade tensions between the US and China also dented market sentiment.

The 30-share BSE Sensex shed 179.47 points to 35,037.64 and the 50-share NSE Nifty fell 82.30 points to 10,589.10 while the Nifty Midcap index dropped nearly 2 percent on weak market breadth.
