At Close, the Sensex ends 635.05 points or 1.03% lower at 61067.24, and the Nifty shed 179.70 points or 0.98% at 18205.60, as weak global sentiment amid the fresh Covid-19 scare continued to haunt domestic equities.

The pain was more pronounced in the broader markets as the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices dropped 1.4 percent and 2.18 percent, respectively.
