Stock Market: Markets crumbled upon opening! Sensex fell 195 points, Nifty fell below 26,000; investors will be watching these stocks today.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Weak signals from global markets directly impacted the opening of the Indian stock market on Tuesday morning. In the second trading session of the week, the market plunged so sharply that investors were unable to recover. Both the Sensex and Nifty slipped into the red at the opening bell, creating a panicked atmosphere in the market. Weak global cues, geopolitical tensions, and selling by foreign investors increased pressure on the domestic market.

At 9:15 a.m., the Sensex opened 195.28 points lower at 84,755.67, while the Nifty slipped 57.40 points to 25,956.05. Market breadth was also weak, with 1,025 stocks advancing, 1,385 declining, and 164 remaining flat.
