The Nifty 50 fell 0.89% to 23,274.25 on Wednesday morning as elevated oil prices and a selloff in IT stocks pressured Indian equities. The decline marks the fifth session of losses in six trading days for the domestic benchmarks. The drop follows a period where foreign investors offloaded a record $26.8 billion of shares while favoring AI-linked stocks in other global markets.
