Sensex today | Stock Market Highlights: Markets end in the red; Sensex drops 210 points, Nifty slips 159
Indian equity benchmarks closed lower on Tuesday, with the Sensex dropping 210.08 points to 78,428.95 and the Nifty declining 159.40 points to 24,614.90. Investor caution stemmed from anticipation of the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy decision and adjustments related to a new closing-auction mechanism for stocks with futures and options contracts. Rising Brent crude prices further contributed to market volatility, raising concerns over inflation and corporate earnings.
