Weakness in Asian markets and uncertainty in other global markets, including the US, have also impacted the Indian market. Investors have preferred to sell riskier stocks.

These stocks saw a rise.

Even in a declining market, some stocks are seeing buying. LIC, SBI, Titan, and a few select companies remained in focus due to news and quarterly updates.

These stocks remained under pressure.

Several major stocks saw selling pressure today. Investors booked profits in auto, metal, and some banking stocks. Weak global cues weighed heavily on these sectors.
