Sensex tanks 1,342 pts, Nifty below 23,900 as geopolitical tensions weigh
The key equity benchmarks ended with sharp losses on Wednesday, dragged down by selling in select heavyweights. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing US-Iran conflict, continued to weigh on market sentiment. Despite earlier expectations that the conflict might end soon, the situation in the region remains tense. Sustained selling by overseas investors over the past several sessions also pressured the market, while the rupee weakened further against the dollar. The Nifty ended below the 23,900 level, led by declines in auto, private bank and financial stocks. However, pharma and healthcare stocks bucked the broader weak market trend.
