Nifty slides below 24,000 as financials, autos tumble amid global cues
India's Nifty 50 fell to 23,775.10, down 0.93%, with financial, auto and FMCG stocks leading the sell‑off and the India VIX rising to 20.43. Analysts see resistance near 24,000 and support around 23,500, suggesting a breakout could trigger a short‑cover rally toward 24,500. Meanwhile U.S. indices gained about 0.7% on news of Israel‑Lebanon peace talks, while European markets retreated.
Global funds have withdrawn $18.84 bn from Indian equities in just over three months, breaking the previous record set in 2025. The outflows are driven by an energy shock from the US‑Iran war and a perception that AI‑linked economies offer stronger growth narratives. Domestic investors added $31 bn this year, but foreign selling has pushed the Nifty 50 down 8% and erased about $600 bn of market value. Analysts warn that a lack of clear catalysts and a weak rupee hinder a rebound.
