Benchmark indices snapped their two-day winning streak on March 27, weighed down by a mix of global and domestic concerns. A sharp depreciation in the Indian rupee, a spike in crude oil prices due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, and continued selling by foreign institutional investors kept market sentiment under pressure throughout the session.

Broad-Based Selling Across Sectors

On the sectoral front, selling pressure was widespread, with all major sectors ending in negative territory. The steepest declines were observed in PSU Banks, Private Banks, Realty, Auto, and Consumer Durables, each falling in the range of 2–4%. Notably, none of the sectors provided any meaningful support to the indices during the session, reflecting the overall weak sentiment in the market.

The broader markets also echoed the bearish trend seen in the benchmarks. The Nifty Midcap index declined by 2.23%, while the Smallcap index fell around 1.74%. The decline remained largely in line with the overall market movement, indicating consistent selling pressure across segments.

Stock-Specific Action

Among individual stocks, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation was one of the top performers, gaining around 4.03%. In contrast, Shriram Finance emerged as a major laggard, plunging more than 5.54% during the session.
