Indian Stock Market Sees Losses Amid Global Weakness
The Indian stock market experienced a downturn on Tuesday, 26 May, as the frontline indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, snapped their two-day winning run. The losses were attributed to profit booking amid weak global cues and a jump in crude oil prices.
The BSE Sensex lost 479 points, or 0.63%, to close at 76,009.70, while its counterpart, the NSE Nifty 50, shed 118 points, or 0.49%, to settle at 23,913.70. The decline marked a significant change in the market's trend, which had been experiencing gains in the previous two days.
