Market meltdown: Nifty crashes below 22,000 as investor jitters mount

By Business Standard - 7 months ago
The domestic stock market plunged today, with the Nifty 50 crashing below the crucial 22,000 level. A perfect storm of anxieties - election uncertainty, relentless selling by foreign investors, lackluster corporate earnings, and spiking oil prices - clobbered investor sentiment. While the Nifty Auto index defied the carnage, roaring to a record high, most other sectoral indices drowned in the sea of red. Oil & gas, metals, and FMCG stocks bore the brunt of the selling. The expiry of weekly index options injected a shot of volatility into the market.
