Sensex, Nifty 50 crash almost 1%, investors lose over ₹3 lakh crore— 10 key highlights from Indian stock market today

The Indian stock market ended with significant losses on Friday, July 11, as the intensifying trade war between the US and its trading partners and a weak start to the Q1 results season dealt a blow to the already fragile market.

The Sensex ended with a loss of 690 points, or 0.83 per cent, at 82,500.47, while the Nifty 50 settled 205 points, or 0.81 per cent, lower at 25,149.85.

The BSE Midcap index declined 0.65 per cent, while the Smallcap index ended 0.70 per cent lower.

The across-the-board selloff made investors poorer by over ₹3 lakh crore in a single session, as the cumulative market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms dropped to nearly ₹456.7 lakh crore from ₹460 lakh crore in the previous session.
