Indian Stock Market Ends in Red on Tuesday
The Indian stock market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, closed in the negative on Tuesday, 28 April, due to profit booking in banking heavyweights. The sector witnessed significant selling pressure, particularly in major players such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and State Bank of India.
The decline in these banking stocks was partly attributed to mixed global cues, which created uncertainty in the market. As a result, investors opted for profit booking, leading to a decline in the Sensex and Nifty 50 indices.
Here's a brief overview of the market performance:
