Stock Markets End Deep in the Red Amid Heavy Losses

Domestic stock markets continued their sharp decline for the third consecutive session, weighed down by global geopolitical uncertainties that severely impacted investor sentiment. On Wednesday morning, the Sensex plunged by nearly 1,000 points (around 1 percent), hitting an intraday low of 81,124.45. The Nifty also slipped by about 250 points, moving closer to the 25,000 mark and touching an intraday low of 24,919.80.

Over the past three sessions, the Sensex has fallen by more than 2,400 points, marking a decline of nearly 3 percent. Similarly, the BSE Nifty-50 has mirrored this downward trend, losing around 3 percent during the same period. As a result, the total market capitalization of BSE-listed companies dropped sharply from ₹468 lakh crore to ₹450 lakh crore, eroding investor wealth by approximately ₹18 lakh crore over three consecutive trading sessions.
