POST-MARKET SUMMARY 21 September 2023

Indian markets ended with losses for the third consecutive day on September 21. This decline followed the US Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain its current policy stance, with indications that interest rates would stay elevated for an extended period. Ongoing selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and the persistent rise in crude oil prices added to the market's apprehension. Furthermore, the global markets' weakness dampened investor sentiment. Barring Nifty Media, all other sectoral indices closed in red.
