The Sensex's Struggle

The Sensex, a free-float market-weighted stock market index of 30 well-established and financially sound companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange, exhibited significant volatility, reflecting concerns over various macroeconomic factors that may have led to wary investor behavior. The 615-point descent has been a point of discussion, underlying the unease in the current equity market.
