The NIFTY 50 closed lower by 207.95 points (-0.86%) at 23,842.65, reflecting broad-based selling pressure across key sectors. The decline was driven by sharp weakness in auto and financial stocks, with EICHERMOT (-5.04%), MARUTI (-4.62%), BAJFINANCE (-2.97%), RELIANCE (-2.68%), and INDIGO (-2.64%) emerging as major laggards. IT stocks also weighed on sentiment, with TCS (-2.12%), INFY (-1.28%), HCLTECH (-1.56%), and WIPRO (-0.94%) declining.

The index reversed from the previous session’s gains amid weak global cues and heightened geopolitical tensions following the breakdown of US–Iran talks, which weighed on overall market sentiment. Rising crude oil prices and a weaker rupee further added pressure, while persistent FII outflows and profit booking kept the market under stress. RSI has slipped towards the 50 mark, indicating a loss of upward strength. Near-term support levels are at 23,396/23,120, and resistance levels are at 24,289/24,565.
