Indian equities closed lower after failing to sustain intraday gains, with both Nifty and Sensex declining over half a percent. The session saw early optimism from reduced volatility and three-day momentum evaporate in late trading. While corporate earnings influenced stock-specific action, broader markets remained sensitive to currency fluctuations and global risk trends. Energy sector developments and AI investment debates created crosscurrents beneath the index-level retreat.
