Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: Indian equities ended sharply lower on Monday as investors turned cautious amid lingering geopolitical tensions and broad-based profit-booking across sectors. The Sensex shed 770 points, while the Nifty settled below the 23,100 mark, with selling pressure intensifying through the second half of the session.
Realty and metal stocks led the decline, while weakness also extended to auto, consumer durables, energy and information technology counters. Broader markets fared even worse, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices losing more than 1% each, signalling a wider retreat from risk assets.
Volatility also remained elevated during the session, reflecting investor unease. Among benchmark constituents, Wipro, Jio Financial Services, InterGlobe Aviation and Shriram Finance were among the top drags, while defensive names such as Max Healthcare, Bharat Electronics, Power Grid and Nestlé India managed to buck the broader market weakness.
