Broader markets heavily underperformed. Sectoral indices were a mixed bag where on one side we had Nifty IT index, up 1.17% while on the flip side we had Nifty PSU Banks Index, tumbling by another 1.88% for the day.

The domesticmarket took a break, reflecting the mixed global trend and the ECB's concern about more rate reduction, according to Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services. Due to anticipated rises in discretionary expenditure, IT companies saw gains in sectoral trends, while auto stocks saw a loss as a result of lower-than-expected monthly volumes.

The monsoon's development, the next Union budget, and the US election—which might have an impact on the world economy—are all being attentively watched by investors. Trends in the market are being impacted by recent increases in US Treasury rates as well as a steady rise in crude oil prices.
