Stock Market News: NIFTY 50, Sensex Decline as Bharti Airtel, TCS, and Other Major Stocks Struggle
The stock market today has again seen a significant downward shift as both the indices, Sensex and NIFTY 50 are going red. As of noon, the NIFTY has gone below the 24,400 mark showing a 1.21% downfall, and the Sensex going below by 961.27 points, indicating a 1.18% decline. This is the second day in a row where both the Sensex and Nifty have dropped sharply.
Out of 30 stocks in Sensex, 27 saw a decline, and out of 50 stocks in the NIFTY 50, 44 stock prices have dropped significantly, up to 5%. The reason why the stock market is falling is partly due to global uncertainties. Investors are waiting for the results of the two-day US Federal Reserve Meeting starting today.
With a fall in heavyweight stocks like Bharti Airtel, Shriram Finance, TCS, JSW, Adani Ports, Apollo Hospital, and Axis Bank, the market has been looking cautious with investors preferring to wait for more clarity on the global economic outlook that will affect the Indian market.
