Despite the weakness, select stocks managed to outperform, with Trent, Shriram Finance, Apollo Hospitals, UltraTech Cement, and Adani Ports emerging as notable gainers. On the other hand, heavyweights such as Interglobe Aviation, Wipro, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Sun Pharma, and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles dragged the index lower. The session highlighted a clear risk-off mood, with equities under pressure while investors looked toward safer assets like gold and silver.
