(RTTNews) - Indian shares opened sharply lower on Monday as a weak July U.S. jobs report as well as disappointing earnings from the likes of Intel and Amazon ignited worries that the world's largest economy could be falling into a recession under the weight of the Federal Reserve's policy of high interest rates.
