Sensex, Nifty Fall Nearly 0.5% as Cement, FMCG Stocks Drag

In India, there is a big market where people buy and sell shares of companies.

On Tuesday, two important lists of company shares called the Sensex and the Nifty went down a little.

They fell because people were selling shares of companies that make cement, food and everyday goods, and buildings.

Investors were also worried because the United States and Iran were talking but their talks seemed stuck, which can affect oil and energy prices.

Some well-known companies, like Tata Consumer Products, Max Healthcare and UltraTech Cement, saw their shares drop a lot.

But not everything went down.

Shares of medicine companies went up, and smaller company shares also did well.

Experts are watching an important number from the United States called the CPI, which tells us about prices and inflation.

That number is coming on Wednesday and could change how investors feel.
