Markets fall as investors turn cautious on inflation data
Indian stock markets ended lower on Tuesday, reversing gains from the previous session. Sensex fell 368 points to 80,235, while Nifty 50 closed at 24,487. The decline was largely driven by losses in financial, FMCG, and realty stocks. Market experts noted that investors were cautious ahead of the release of domestic and US inflation data, leading to profit booking.
