What is the story about?
Markets Under Pressure
Indian equities extended their losing streak on Tuesday, with the benchmark indices falling for the third straight session amid broad-based selling pressure. The Sensex tumbled 778 points to settle at 74,004, while the Nifty fell 280 points to 23,119, its lowest level in five months. The sell-off came as investors remained cautious amid escalating West Asia tensions, rising crude oil prices, a weaker rupee and concerns over global bond yields ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers of ₹2,977.86 crore in equities, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers of ₹2,686.05 crore, both on a provisional basis.
