Live: Will Nifty's 200-DMA hold as India Inc delivers Q3 results? | Opening Bell
The sell-off deepened on Dalal Street as the Nifty slipped below key support levels, extending losses for a second straight session and inching closer to its 200-day moving average. The benchmark logged its sharpest single-day fall since May 2025, ending at its lowest level since October 2025, as investor wealth took a hit amid broad-based selling. Heavyweights dragged the indices lower, with just three Nifty stocks managing to close in the green. The pain was sharper in the broader market, with midcaps and smallcaps seeing steeper cuts, while realty, auto and consumer durables led the sectoral losses. Weak earnings and persistent geopolitical tensions continued to cap risk appetite, keeping market sentiment firmly cautious. This morning, global cues were muted. US markets suffered worst day since the last 3 months as trade war fears reignited. Asian markets also started the day lower mirroring moves on the Wall Street.
