Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, experienced a minor decline of nearly 0.3% after starting the day on a flat note. Sensex dropped by 232 points to 73,245, while Nifty fell by 44 points to 22,257. While some sectors like Nifty Auto, PSU, Realty, and Private Banks showed buying interest, others like IT, Pharma, FMCG, Metal, Fin service, and Energy faced pressure. Analysts suggest that Nifty might find support around 22,000, while Sensex could dip further towards 72,700 levels. The market remains cautious with a need for a decisive breach above 22,400 to improve sentiment.
