Sensex falls over 250 points, Nifty below 24,250 as Mideast peace hopes fade. More pain ahead?

Indian stock markets saw a troubling trend as they recorded declines for several days in a row. On the third straight day, the Sensex dropped significantly, and the Nifty 50 fell for the sixth consecutive session. This decline coincided with fading expectations for a peace deal in the Middle East, with the Sensex losing over 250 points and Nifty 50 dropping below 23,250 while small-cap stocks managed to gain traction.
