Sensex falls 22 points on weak global cues

MUMBAI: The Bombay Stock Exchange 30-share index fell by 22 points at 1015 hours on Friday in sustained volatility caused by approaching expiry of futures & options contract.

The broader 50-share Nifty of the National Stock Exchange also dropped by 10.50 points or 0.21 per cent to 4,978.50 at 1015 hours from its previous close.
