In today's trading session, the market experienced a notable decline, with the SENSEX trading at 81,683.03, reflecting a loss of 576.21 points. This downward trend is indicative of broader market challenges, as only a fraction of sectors managed to advance amidst a sea of declines.
Among the large-cap stocks, Wipro emerged as a standout performer, gaining 2.31%, while Axis Bank faced significant pressure, dropping by 4.38%. The mid-cap segment also saw mixed results, with Whirlpool India gaining 2.96%, contrasting sharply with Clean Science, which fell by 8.29%.

The overall market sentiment was further dampened by the advance-decline ratio across the BSE500, which showed a stark imbalance with 131 advances against 368 declines. Additionally, the BANKEX sector was the top loser, down by 1.24%, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by financial institutions.

As investors await upcoming results from key players like Pun. & Sind Bank and ICICI Bank, market participants remain cautious, navigating through the current volatility while keeping an eye on potential recovery signals.
