Bears attack! Sensex, Nifty see biggest single-day fall since June 2024 crash

Indian stock markets experienced their worst single-day fall since the June 2024 election crash, with Sensex and Nifty plunging over 3% on Thursday. Soaring crude prices and hawkish US Federal Reserve commentary triggered the selloff, wiping out over Rs 11.5 lakh crore in market capitalisation. The decline mirrored the post-election panic, though markets historically show resilience.
