Stock Market LIVE:
Strong selling is being seen in the American markets. Market major indexes like Dow, NASDAQ and S&P broke up to 1.8%. The major reason for this decline is the possibility of increase in interest rates. Its effect is also on the Asian markets. Nikkei and Kospi have also softened by half a percent each. At the same time, the dollar index has also reached 104 with a height of 6 weeks.
Due to the fall in the global markets, there is a possibility of a weak start of the domestic market. Earlier on February 16, a sharp decline was recorded in the market from the upper levels. In the end, the Sensex closed at 61,319 with a slight gain of 44 points, which also touched the highest level of 61,682 in the intraday. Banking and financial stocks were at the forefront of the softening of the market.
