Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex came under sharp pressure by mid-day on July 24 and ended the session on a weak note after a steep selloff in IT, oil & gas, and banking stocks weighed heavily on market sentiment. The pain was even more pronounced in the broader market, with the Midcap and Smallcap 100 indices seeing deeper losses.
