Sensex drops over 400 points as Nifty slips below 23,100
In short
Indian shares fell on Monday after a strong week before it. Sensex dropped more than 400 points and Nifty slipped below 23,100. Axis Bank and HDFC Bank fell, while SBI and UltraTech Cement rose.
This matters because it shows the market giving back some of last week’s gains. The report does not say what caused the drop, only that PSU banks held up better than private banks.
