Vikram Kasat, Head, Advisory at PL Capital, Prabhudas Lilladher, noted a sharp sell-off, with Nifty’s support level of 23,500 under scrutiny. Global factors such as a strong US dollar, rising crude oil prices, and Federal Reserve policy concerns dampened sentiment.
He added that with the December quarter earnings season and Union Budget expectations approaching, investors remain cautious amid challenging market conditions.
