Indian equity markets surrendered their morning gains and ended lower on Tuesday, September 22, with the benchmark BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 coming under sharp selling pressure during the closing auction session (CAS).
The continued decline in crude oil prices, with Brent slipping below the key $100-a-barrel mark, provided some relief to investors and helped the domestic market recover from the day’s intraday lows. However, the benchmarks remained in negative territory at the close.
