Sensex, Nifty Plunge: Adani Sell-off, FII Outflows Drive Market Decline

  • Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed significantly lower on Friday, reversing early gains.
  • Sensex dropped 769.66 points (0.94%) to 81,537.70, while Nifty fell 241.25 points (0.95%) to 25,048.65.
  • Key factors for the decline include persistent FII outflows, weak quarterly earnings, rising crude oil prices, and geopolitical concerns.
  • Adani Group stocks faced heavy selling pressure due to a US SEC report on alleged fraud and bribery.
  • The Indian Rupee hit a record low of 91.99 against the US dollar, further impacting market sentiment.
