    Volatility Grips Indian Markets Amid Broad-Based Profit-Booking

    Domestic equities witnessed heightened volatility on Thursday as widespread profit-booking continued, even as most Asian markets traded on a positive note.

    Additionally, this session also marks the third consecutive session of losses for the Indian markets and the decline is backed by weak global cues.

    The combination of global support and domestic headwinds left the markets oscillating through the session, reflecting a cautious undertone among investors.
