Sensex Sinks Over 560 Points As Stock Markets End In Red

Indian benchmark equity indices ended sharply lower as weak investor sentiment weighed on the stock markets. The Sensex dropped 561.46 points to 77,054.94, while the Nifty declined 158.95 points to 24,052.05. Rising geopolitical tensions in Gulf, crude oil prices, and cautious outlooks on top IT stocks contributed to the broad-based market selloff.
