Sensex ends flat, Nifty at 22,620 as banks and realty gain

business-standard.com —

Indian stock benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 fell for a third straight session on Wednesday, closing flat to lower amid rebounding oil prices and fading hopes for a US-Iran resolution. The Sensex declined 48.78 points to 72,480.29, while the Nifty50 dropped 95.75 points to 22,620.45. Realty, private bank, and media sectors gained, while healthcare, pharma, and metal stocks declined. Broader indices ended slightly higher. Analysts noted pressures from elevated global yields, persistent foreign selling, and a weak rupee near ₹95.97 against the dollar. Brent crude hovered around $103 a barrel, with experts advising investors to focus on earnings visibility and domestic liquidity rather than short-term volatility in October.
