Benchmarks pare steep losses; Sensex slides 304 points, Nifty ends below 23,450
The domestic equity benchmarks staged a sharp recovery from intraday lows on Wednesday as bargain hunting emerged after the morning selloff. The Nifty, which slipped to an intraday low of 23,151.50, rebounded nearly 250 points and climbed back above the 23,400 mark in late trade. Sentiment improved as investors accumulated beaten-down stocks.

Despite the recovery, the index settled below the 23,450 level, weighed down by weakness in IT and FMCG stocks. Analysts said the Nifty remains technically weak, with immediate support seen at 23,300 and resistance at 23,600.
