The Indian stock markets experienced a wave of panic as 178 stocks plummeted by over 4.5% on Monday. This dramatic downturn came as investors swiftly offloaded their equity holdings, adopting a risk-averse approach in response to escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas.
On Thursday, 2,169 stocks advanced, 1,500 declined and 123 remained unchanged on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), with advance decline ratio of 1.45, indicating a positive closing of stocks in broader markets.
