Morning Alert..
*Markets log biggest drop in 4 months; Sensex ends 1,062 points lower*
Benchmark indices posted their biggest decline in nearly four months as foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) intensified their selling amid uncertainty around general elections in India and rate cuts at the US central bank. The Sensex ended the session at 72,404, with a decline of 1,062 points, or 1.5 per cent, its biggest fall since January 2023. The Nifty closed at 21,958, following a decline of 355 points, or 1.5 per cent. The index finished below its 100-day moving average (DMA), seen as a critical support, for the first time since November 13, 2023. FPIs sold shares worth nearly Rs 7,000 crore, their biggest single-day pullout in nearly a month. “Results have been a mixed bag with a fair share of downside rather than upsides in earnings. The corporate results haven’t surpassed expectations. Valuations are becoming more stretched. Analysts are cutting target prices or reducing their position from buy to hold. And some are becoming positive about China, and maybe some are taking money out of India to China,” said Andrew Holland, chief executive officer of Avendus Capital Alternate Strategies.
