Markets dip as global sell-off, Bihar result jitters hit
Indian markets opened lower on Friday as global weakness and election uncertainty weighed on sentiment. The Sensex fell 180 points and the Nifty slipped 60 points amid a sharp tech-led sell-off on Wall Street and nervousness around Bihar poll results. While most sectors declined, PSU Bank, Pharma and Oil & Gas showed resilience. Analysts expect long-term fundamentals to stay strong.
