Stock Market Today: Indian equity benchmarks began Wednesday’s session on a cautious note, extending the uneasy mood seen after the previous day’s steep decline. Weak global signals, most notably a sharp overnight fall in US equities, combined with intensifying trade-war worries, continued to dampen investor confidence. Both frontline indices slipped during the early trade, while attention squarely turned to whether the Nifty can protect its key long-term technical supports after sliding close to its 200-day moving average. In early trade at around 10:48 am IST, the BSE Sensex slipped 718.82 points, or 0.87 per cent, to 81,461.65, while the NSE Nifty50 declined 219.20 points to trade at 25,013.30.
