Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty fell on June 4, 2026, driven by persistent foreign institutional investor selling and negative sentiment from global markets.
Key points
- The BSE Sensex dropped 443.15 points to close at 73,903.02, while the NSE Nifty 50 declined 121 points to 23,284.60.
- Market analysts cited geopolitical uncertainty in West Asia and elevated crude oil prices as primary factors weighing on investor sentiment.
- Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 5,616.56 crore on the previous trading day.
- Asian markets, including Japan's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng, also experienced significant declines.
Why it matters
