Geopolitical Concerns Weigh on Indian Equities, Global Sentiment Remains Positive

Today, Indian equity markets ended on a bearish note, following a volatile trading session. Geopolitical concerns intensified after reports of Indian forces neutralizing an air defence system in Lahore, which fueled a strong risk-off sentiment across global markets.

The Nifty Fifty broke below the crucial 24,300 mark, while the Sensex saw a decline of 411.97 points, or 0.51%, closing at 80,334.81. Similarly, the Nifty closed at 24,273.80, down 140.60 points, or 0.58%.
