The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty traded lower on Friday, as a U.S. tech selloff and subdued Asian cues kept sentiment restrained ahead of a local GDP print later in the day.
At around 9:30 PM, the Sensex was down 352.30 points or 0.43 percent to 81,896.31, while the broader Nifty declined to 25,382.60, down 113.95 points or 0.45 percent.Key factors behind market decline
1) Weak global cues: The benchmark S&P 500 and European equities finished lower as investors digested another blowout quarter from Nvidia — the world's most valuable company — yet remained uneasy about its valuation even as the chipmaker forecast first-quarter revenue of $78 billion. Tech heavy asian indices fell in tandem with the NASDAQ2) FII selling: FIIs sold Rs 3,465.99 crore on Thursday, which further dented the market sentiments.
3) India Vix rises: The fear gauge or the volatility index rose nearly 3 percent to 13.44 level, indicating higher uncertainity among market participants.
