Nifty Records Worst September in 25 Years Amid Market Volatility and Sector Declines
The Nifty index experienced its worst September series in 25 years, falling nearly 6%, with all sectors except pharma declining. The market showed volatility on the monthly expiry day, with the Nifty slipping below 22,700 and the Sensex dropping 300 points. Auto, realty, and PSU banks were among the worst-performing sectors, while IT and consumer durables faced pressure. Foreign institutional investors were net sellers, and the rupee weakened to a two-month low against the dollar. Asian markets traded higher amid easing global energy concerns and elevated US Treasury yields.
