Volatile session ends with benchmarks slipping amid thin holiday volumes
Benchmark indices ended lower in volatile trade as muted volumes, mixed global signals, and selling in heavyweight stocks kept investors cautious ahead of year-end.
Indian equity markets closed lower on Wednesday, December 24, after a choppy trading session marked by subdued participation in a holiday-shortened week. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty moved between gains and losses before settling in the red as investors stayed cautious amid mixed global cues. Selling pressure was visible in select index heavyweights, with stocks such as InterGlobe Aviation, Sun Pharma, Asian Paints, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, and Tata Steel emerging as key laggards.
