Stock Market Highlights: Sensex ends 435 pts lower, Nifty50 gives up 18,000; HDFC twins take a breather

Stock Market Highlights: Indian equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 snapped a two-day winning run on Tuesday amid cautious gains across most global markets. Losses in financial shares dragged the headline indices lower, though gains in auto, consumer, metal and oil & gas stocks limited the downside. HDFC and HDFC Bank shares fell around 2-3 percent, a day after the news of a merger between the two sent the stocks making their biggest jump in 13 years. Broader markets managed to hold on to the green throughout the day. The Nifty Midcap 100 index finished the day 1.4 percent higher and the Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 0.9 percent. Globally, investors remained on the back foot tracking updates about the Russia-Ukraine war, which is in its sixth week.
