Indian Markets Fall Fifth Day, Sensex Drops

Indian stock markets fell sharply on Friday, continuing a downward trend for the fifth day in a row. Most sectors experienced heavy selling pressure, causing both major indices to drop.

At the close of trading, the BSE Sensex fell by 605 points (0.72%), ending at 83,576, while the NSE Nifty dropped 194 points (0.75%), closing at 25,683.

The steep decline over the last five trading sessions has erased more than ₹13 lakh crore from the total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies. Investors remained cautious as the market continues to face selling pressure across multiple sectors.

Market experts suggest that traders adopt a careful approach in this volatile environment, as global and domestic factors continue to influence market sentiment.
