- •Profit booking occurred as investors awaited Q3 results from Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank.
- •Bank Nifty also saw mild profit booking, falling below the 60,000-level after reclaiming it.
- •The US Supreme Court's delayed ruling on Donald Trump's tariffs did not influence the market in the near-term.
