Indian Stock Market Plunges: Sensex Dips 300 Pts, Nifty Below 26100 Amid Global Woes

• Indian stock markets witnessed a third consecutive day of decline, with Sensex falling over 300 points and Nifty slipping below 26,100.
• The primary reasons for the market downturn include rising geopolitical tensions, continuous selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), and weak global cues.
• FIIs net sold Indian equities worth ₹107.63 crore on Tuesday, with total sales of approximately ₹3,100 crore in January so far, impacting market liquidity.
• Asian markets like Japan's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index also showed weakness, contributing to cautious global sentiment.
• Despite a late recovery attempt, Sensex closed down 102.20 points (0.12%) at 84,961.14, and Nifty fell 37.95 points (0.14%) to 26,140.75.

Why It Matters: Geopolitical tensions, FII selling, and weak global cues drove Indian markets down for a third day.
