India's equity markets entered Wednesday carrying the weight of Tuesday's retreat, as banking stocks led a selective but meaningful selloff that left the Nifty 50 and Sensex modestly lower. The GIFT Nifty's pre-market gap down suggested that neither Wall Street's overnight gains nor South Korea's sharp rally had managed to lift the mood in Mumbai. In moments like these, markets reveal something older than data — a collective hesitation, a pause before the next chapter is written.
