Following a rise of over 1 per cent, which ended a three-day losing streak, the Indian stock market benchmark Nifty 50 experienced a nearly 1 per cent drop during intraday trading on Thursday, August 8. The market trend reflects buying on dips and profit booking at higher levels, driven by heightened geopolitical tensions and concerns over US economic growth.
