On Thursday, domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 posted their steepest declines in nearly two months, dragged down by heavyweight IT firms and as investors adjusted positions due to the expiry of monthly derivatives contracts. The NSE Nifty 50 fell 1.49 per cent to 23,914.15, while the BSE Sensex lost 1.48 per cent to 79,043.74.
Investors' wealth fell by ₹1,50,265.63 crore to ₹4,42,98,083.42 crore. The Nifty 50 monthly derivatives series expired on Thursday, meaning investors must close or roll over their contracts. The Bank Nifty derivatives contracts expired on Wednesday. The small- and mid-caps bucked the weakness to end little changed as they have no derivatives and minimal exposure to IT stocks.
