Sensex Dips 500 Points from Day's High, Nifty Near 25,400 Amid Global Weakness

• Benchmark equity indices surrendered early gains, trading in negative territory due to profit booking and weak global cues.
• Sensex fell 500 points from its intraday high of 82,579.16, while Nifty pared gains from 25,572.95 to 25,434.80.
• Key factors for the decline include rising crude prices, profit-taking in FMCG, metal, and realty stocks, and weak global markets.
• Geopolitical concerns over US-Iran nuclear talks and expiry-related volatility also contributed to market pressure.
• Coal India, Power Grid, and SBI were major laggards, while Tata Motors and Tech Mahindra saw gains.
