We had a catastrophic fall after the Fitch currency downgrade came in.

Global things turned quite bad as well and we had a very, very big sell off. Sensex was 650-points down and finally closed at 12,670. Nifty was down 180 points all the way to 3,860. We have pretty much come back to the 3,850 level. This is a 15-month low in terms of a closing for the market. There were not too many places to hide.

Banks got hit the hardest after that currency downgrade. We saw ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank losing 8-10% apiece, as the Nifty bank index was down very sharply, nearly 8%.
