On May 9, benchmark indices witnessed a significant decline, with the NSE Nifty 50 slipping below 22,000 and the BSE Sensex plunging over 1,000 points. Both indices started the day on a downward trajectory and continued to fall over 1 percent intraday.
At close, the Sensex recorded a decline of 1,062 points or 1.5 percent, ending at 72,404, while the Nifty 50 dropped by 335 points or 1.5 percent, closing at 21,967. The market saw 865 shares advancing, 2,394 shares declining, and 102 shares remaining unchanged.
This marks the fifth consecutive day of sell-offs for the headline indices. Multiple factors, including the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, lacklustre Q4 results for the 2024 season, and rising crude prices, have contributed to this prolonged downturn.

Earlier today, Gaurang Shah, Senior Vice President at Geojit Financial Services, suggested that while volatility may be noticeable in the Nifty 50 and Sensex, it is expected to be even more pronounced in the small-cap and mid-cap segments.
