Nifty 50 Falls Below 23,000 as Volatility Surges
The Nifty 50 is a group of major Indian stocks.
On Monday, it started lower and quickly fell below 23,000.
It ended at 22,780.25, losing 1.56%.
Most of the stocks in the index declined.
Big companies including HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, and ICICI Bank helped pull the index down.
A measure of expected market movement, called India VIX, rose sharply.
Analysts say the market is still in a downtrend and could remain weak.
The approaching monthly expiry may cause more price swings.
The Nifty 50 fell 1.56% to close at 22,780.25, its lowest close since April 2.
Only three Nifty 50 stocks gained, while HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, and ICICI Bank led the decline.
India VIX rose 12.15% to 13.63, while implied volatility reached 16.32.
The index broke below the 23,000 support zone and formed a large bearish daily candle.
September’s monthly expiry could keep volatility elevated as traders monitor rollovers and open interest.
