This month, the Indian stock market has experienced significant volatility due to strong foreign capital outflow driven by election-related caution. The market has been fluctuating between gains and losses, impacted by high valuations, a lack of fresh triggers, and mixed global cues.
Sector-wise, Oil & Gas, Capital Goods, Telecom, PSU Bank, Power, and Realty sectors declined by 1-2 percent. However, the pharma index saw a rise of 0.5 percent.
The BSE Midcap index dropped by 0.5 percent, while the smallcap index decreased by one percent.
