DUBAI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Egypt's stock market fell sharply on Wednesday as security forces in Cairo moved to disperse demonstrators supporting deposed President Mohamed Mursi, sparking violent clashes across the north African country which have killed at least 29 people.
The Egyptian index sank 1.7 percent to close at 5,549 points, very near the day's low of 5,546."
