Investors' wealth tumbled by ₹9 lakh crore on Friday, in tandem with a sharp decline in the domestic equity market, where the benchmark Sensex plunged 1,414 points following a bearish trend in global equities.
NEW DELHI:
Fresh tariff threats that ignited global trade war fears and relentless foreign fund outflows dented investor sentiment, analysts said.
The 30-share BSE benchmark gauge tumbled 1,414.33 points or 1.90% to settle at 73,198.10. During the day, it cracked 1,471.16 points or 1.97% to 73,141.27.
Following the sharp decline in equities, the market capitalization of BSE-listed firms eroded by ₹9,08,798.67 crore to ₹3,84,01,411.86 crore ($4.39 trillion).
Falling for the eighth straight day, the NSE Nifty slumped 420.35 points or 1.86% to 22,124.70.
