Markets end lower amid fears of Grexit from euro: Markets ended lower on Monday, amid weak global cues, after Greece and international creditors which failed to come to an agreement over debt payments raised fears of Greece's exit from the euro zone. The 30-share Sensex ended down 167 points at 27,645 and the Nifty ended down 63 points at 8,306. Markets slumped in initial trades with the Sensex plunging over 500 points in intra-day trade following the debt crisis in Europe. However, markets staged marginal recovery in the latter half of the trading session led by FMCG shares. Further, reports suggest that the Greek government on Monday confirmed that banks will be closed all week, after a decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) not to extend emergency funding.
