Summary: Delhi's stock indices opened in the negative, with the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex falling.

Indian markets started the day on a shaky note, with both the Sensex and Nifty opening lower. The drop wasn’t exactly unexpected—global markets had a rough night, especially tech stocks in the US, and that negativity spilled over into Asia and then into India this morning.

Adding to the nerves is the Bihar election result, which everyone is watching closely. The counting is underway, and investors are a bit on edge because any major shift in the state’s political balance could signal policy changes. That kind of uncertainty usually makes the market cautious.

Foreign investors have also been withdrawing their money, which only adds more pressure. Domestic investors are still around, but it’s not enough to counter the overall weak sentiment right now.

Still, some market experts say this dip is a temporary wobble. India’s growth numbers, strong corporate earnings, and overall economic outlook haven’t changed. Once the election is done and global markets are steady, things could bounce back.
