Outcry in the stock market! Sensex falls 500 points, loss of ₹1 lakh crore, Nifty falls below 23250

Domestic equity markets also had a weak opening today amid selling pressure in most global markets. Uncertainty over a possible agreement between the US and Iran weighed on domestic equity benchmark indices – Sensex and Nifty 50. However, at the macro level, mid-cap and small-cap stocks are trying to support the market. Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices are trading almost flat. Sector wise, volatility across all Nifty sectoral indices is currently less than 1%. While PSU banks are trying to lift the market, IT and realty sectors are putting downward pressure; Their respective Nifty indexes have registered a decline of more than half a percent.

Overall, amid this pressure, the market capitalization of companies listed on BSE has declined by about ₹1 lakh crore – which means that investors’ wealth has declined by about ₹1 lakh crore immediately after the market opened. Looking at equity benchmark indices, at 09:16 am, Sensex was trading at 74,089 – down 256.70 points (0.35%) – while Nifty 50 was at 23,331.05, down 74.55 points (0.32%).
