Stock Market Highlights: BSE Sensex ends in green after 1,000 point intra-day crash; Nifty50 closes at 23,650 as IT stocks rally comes to rescue

Stock Market Highlights: BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 closed in green after an 1% intraday crash at the start of the trading session. Analysts believe the market may continue to remain under corrective pressure if the index fails to reclaim the 23,800–24,000 zone. A sustained inability to cross that range could push Nifty towards support levels of 23,200–23,000. Foreign investors have continued trimming their holdings in Indian equities, pulling out Rs 27,048 crore from the market so far this month, reflecting a cautious stance amid shifting global macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical uncertainties.With the latest withdrawals, cumulative outflows by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) from Indian equities in 2026 have climbed to Rs 2.2 lakh crore, surpassing the total net outflow of Rs 1.66 lakh crore recorded during the whole of 2025, according to NSDL data.Track TOI’s live coverage on the stock market today:
