Hello ,
Market Overview
Markets closed sharply lower, with Nifty 50 falling ~1% as broad-based selling pressure weighed across largecaps, banks, and midcaps. Midcaps and Adani group stocks underperformed, reflecting heightened risk-off sentiment and profit booking.
Defensives like FMCG, pharma, and select metals showed relative resilience, limiting deeper downside in an otherwise weak session.
