By ThePip Desk
Nifty drops to 23,063 as global cues weigh on sentiment. FIIs net sell ₹5,027 crore while DIIs provide support. Banking and financial stocks lead the decline.
Indian equity markets faced a sharp sell-off in the previous session, with the Nifty 50 closing at 23,063.10 (-1.64%). The decline was broad-based, driven by rising US Treasury yields and a surge in crude oil prices, which dampened investor sentiment across major sectors.
