The Indian equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, concluded a bruising session today, marking their fifth consecutive day of losses. The Nifty 50 plummeted below the critical 25,700 threshold to settle at 25,683.30, down 0.75%, while the Sensex shed over 600 points to close at 83,576.24.
- The Breakdown: The decline was led by a sell-off in banking, power, and infrastructure heavyweights. Adani Enterprises was the steepest laggard, dropping 2.59%.
- Weekly Context: On a weekly basis, both indices have corrected by approximately 2.4%, fueled by relentless Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows and a sharp 16% spike in the India VIX (volatility index), signaling heightened investor anxiety over global trade tensions.
