Sensex and Nifty Drop Amid Bank Concerns
The Indian stock market had a bad day on Monday.
The Sensex and Nifty, which are like report cards for the market, went down.
Big banks like HDFC Bank and Axis Bank lost a lot of value.
People are worried about how much money these banks make and some problems between the US and Iran.
Other big companies like Maruti and Infosys also did not do well.
Some experts think this is just a temporary problem, but others think it might take longer to fix.
Sensex and Nifty declined due to selling in bank stocks and US-Iran tensions.
Sensex dropped 442.93 points (0.57%) to 77,708.52.
Nifty fell 95.80 points (0.39%) to 24,238.50.
Axis Bank was the biggest loser, dropping 5.48% after quarterly results.
HDFC Bank declined 5.12%, disappointing investors on profit margins.
