Nifty Extends Losses Below 23,700; Defence Stocks Outperform Amid Market Weakness
The Indian stock market extended its recent losses, with the Nifty index falling below 23,700 amid a four-week losing streak. Market breadth remained weak as declines outpaced advances across most sectors, including IT and banking. However, defence stocks outperformed following government acquisition approvals, while some sectors like FMCG and midcaps showed resilience. External factors such as renewed West Asia tensions and rising oil prices influenced market sentiment, with Asian markets showing modest gains and US futures declining.
