The domestic market indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 on Monday, 6 December, ended deeply in red at the closing bell. Both Sensex and Nifty fell by 1.65 percent to end at 56,747.14 and 16,912.25 respectively. The bear attack was due to a variety of factors including fears of the Omricron variant and the caution among investors ahead of the Monetary Policy Committee meeting of the Reserve Bank of India.
Broader markets mirrored the fall. If we look at sectoral indices, auto, IT, FMCG, pharma, realty, media, oil and gas and consumer durables all ended in red.
