  • BSE Sensex Plunges Nearly 900 Points Amid Global and Domestic Concerns
    June 23, 2026, 7:12 AM EDT. The BSE Sensex fell by nearly 900 points, closing just above 76,200, while the Nifty50 dropped below 23,850 amid weak global cues and renewed selling in information technology (IT) stocks. Shares of top IT firms such as TCS, Infosys, and Wipro declined over 3% following lowered revenue forecasts by Accenture, stoking fears of a slowdown in technology spending. South Korea's Kospi index also plunged nearly 10%, pressured by sharp falls in semiconductor stocks. Rising crude oil prices linked to Middle East tensions raised inflation concerns, spurring expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may hike interest rates three times in 2024, causing investor caution. The Indian rupee weakened marginally to 94.7350 per dollar as foreign capital potentially flowed back to U.S. assets. Overall, combined market capitalization of BSE-listed firms dropped about Rs 4.61 lakh crore to Rs 475 lakh crore, reflecting broad profit-taking and geopolitical unease.
