The NSE Nifty 50 closed at 19,122.15, down 0.83%, with only 10 of the Nifty 50 components experiencing gains.

Commenting on today’s disappointing market performance, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Retail Research at Kotak Securities, said, “Markets extended fall for the 5th straight session as banking, IT stocks led the slump in the backdrop of persisting global turbulence. Higher valuations of Indian stocks have been a concern, and the current global turmoil is allowing investors to reduce their equity exposure. Technically, due to weak sentiments, the Nifty has breached the important support level of 19200 and has also formed a bearish candle on daily charts, which is largely negative.”
