The Indian stock market witnessed a significant downturn today, with both the Nifty 50 and Sensex dropping over 1%. This decline was largely driven by aggressive FII selling, which amounted to over ₹7,395.41 Cr, outweighing DII purchases. Global concerns, such as potential tariff changes from the SCOTUS and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, added to investor anxiety, particularly affecting IT and Auto sectors. Additionally, fears over AI's impact on IT companies led to a sharp sell-off in tech stocks, further dragging the indices down.
