Dark clouds on Dalal
Tokyo extends the slide, down 12 pct in two days
Dalal Street is likely to gap down after a major rally that took traders by surprise on Monday as Japan's Nikkei is trading down nearly 6 pct on the second consecutive day.
Asian stocks suffered for the second day this week as the fallout from Japan’s strongest earthquake last week clouded the economic outlook and intensified concern that corporate earnings will suffer. The Bank of Japan on Tuesday offered to pump 5 trillion yen ($61 billion) into the banking system, continuing its huge fund injection aimed at easing market jitters amid escalating damage from the earthquake.
