Indian stock markets faced a major decline on Friday as the Sensex fell by 589 points and the Nifty dropped by 207 points. The primary reason behind this downturn was the escalating tensions on the India-Pakistan border. In addition, profit-taking after a strong seven-session rally also played a role in the market’s decline. This significant drop in the stock markets reflects the impact of geopolitical tensions on investor sentiment and market performance. Investors are closely monitoring the situation and its potential consequences on the financial markets.
