Sensex, Nifty slump more than 2 pct tracking global markets

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex and Nifty slumped more than 2 percent in pre-open trading on Monday, tracking big falls in their Asian counterparts as a rout in Chinese equities sparked widespread unrest in global financial markets.

The Nifty fell 2.94 percent, while the Sensex was down 2.32 percent. That compared with a 4.6 percent fall in the MSCI Asia-Pacific index of shares excluding Japan.
