Indian Markets Decline, Global Leaders Discuss Future at Summit; Trump Hints at India Visit
Imagine the stock market as a big store where people buy and sell parts of companies.
This week, that store wasn't doing so well, and prices went down for the second week in a row.
Leaders met at a special summit to talk about the future, like how to make more things in India and how to keep the country safe.
Even though the market was shaky, some people at the summit felt optimistic about the future.
Someone important from America, President Trump, said he might visit India soon for a big meeting.
Also, there were some problems with flights at the Delhi airport because of a computer issue, causing many delays.
Meanwhile, a car company called Tesla gave its boss, Elon Musk, a very large payment, and another company sold some of its shares in a phone company.
It was a busy week with some good news and some challenges.
Indian markets, including Sensex and Nifty, saw losses for the second consecutive week due to global uncertainty.
At the Global Leadership Summit, market experts expressed optimism for equities, while SEBI assured a data-driven approach to F&O.
