Nifty50 Slips Below 24,400, Sensex Sheds 750 Points Amid IT Stock Rout

Indian equity markets witnessed a sharp sell-off today as the Nifty50 index slipped below the critical 24,400 mark, while the BSE Sensex tumbled over 750 points to close in the red. The IT sector bore the brunt of the downturn, with several heavyweight stocks dragging the indices lower amidst weak global cues and cautious investor sentiment.

IT Sector Under Pressure

IT stocks were the worst-hit, with major players like Infosys, TCS, and Wipro registering significant declines. The sector’s performance was impacted by concerns over global recessionary trends and weaker-than-expected quarterly results from key companies. Analysts believe this could continue to weigh on market sentiment in the short term, especially as foreign institutional investors appear to be pulling out funds.

Banking and Energy Stocks Provide Stability

Amid the sell-off, banking and energy stocks provided some relief, with select mid-cap banks and oil companies showing resilience. However, this was not enough to counterbalance the broader market weakness. The Nifty Bank index managed a modest recovery towards the end of the trading session, signaling cautious optimism in the financial sector.
