The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a negative start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 23,137 level, a discount of nearly 60 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close.

Indian benchmark indices extended the selloff on Tuesdays and are poised to close at the lowest level since the June crash. Selloff in Oil and Gas stocks and banks led the declines in the benchmark index. Nifty 50 index fell below 23,000 for the first time since June 7, 2024, and Sensex fell nearly 1,300 points on Tuesday.

Midcaps and smallcaps stole the spotlight today, staging a stellar comeback from the sharp selloff in the previous session.
