Sensex Plunges 757 Points, Nifty Below 24,400: Key Market Recap

Indian equity markets experienced a sharp downturn today, with the Sensex plunging 757 points to settle at 59,639 and the Nifty 50 closing below the critical 24,400 mark. The sell-off was broad-based, driven by concerns over global economic uncertainty and weak corporate earnings reported across key sectors.

What Led to the Market Slump?

Several factors contributed to today’s bearish sentiment. Weak cues from international markets amid fears of a slowdown in global growth weighed heavily on Indian indices. Additionally, profit-booking in heavyweights such as Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank amplified the slide. Auto stocks, led by Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), also faced selling pressure after mixed sectoral performance.

On the sectoral front, IT and metals suffered the steepest losses, while defensive plays like FMCG offered limited respite. Traders will be closely monitoring the upcoming RBI monetary policy announcements and global inflation data for further direction.
